Abstract

We report on a series of measurements of the transverse wakefield from tapered collimators. The collimators were designed to principally present a geometric impedance to the beam, and to minimize impedances from resistivity or surface features; in addition, the geometries of the collimators were selected to permit examination of the scaling behavior of the wakefield due to collimator taper angle and minimum gap size. We present the measured near-center wakefields of the collimators, as well as the effect of bunch-length variation. The measurements are compared to analytic models and MAFIA simulations
