Abstract :
Experimental measurements of bunch dilution resulting from a modulating secondary RF cavity will be discussed. We found that parametric resonances played indeed an important role in the bunch dilution mechanism. The RMS bunch length vs. time did not satisfy the Einstein relation. Thus the bunch dilution may not be explained by a simple diffusion mechanism
