Bunch lengths at SPS before extraction • During the LHC MD #1 we observed: • Dependence of bunch length on intensity for smaller bunches Beam 1 Beam 2
Different voltage at SPS extraction • Loss of Landau damping observed at the end of the FT • Keeping the voltage constant to 4.5 MV at the FT improves stability 7 MV 4.5 MV
