Abstract

The beam chamber of the PEP-II B-Factory Low Energy Ring (LER) arc sections is connected to an antechamber for the absorption of synchrotron radiation on discrete photon stops. The presence of the antechamber substantially reduces the cutoff frequency of the vacuum chamber and, in particular, allows the propagation of higher-order-mode (HOM) TE power generated by beamline components at the BPM signal processing frequency. Calculations of the transmission properties of the TE mode in different sections of the vacuum chamber show that the power is trapped between widely separated bellows in the arc sections. Because of the narrow signal bandwidth and weak coupling of the TE mode to the BPM buttons, the noise contributed by the HOM TE power will not produce a noticeable effect on the BPM position signal voltage
