A radio frequency system with a fourth-harmonic “Landau” cavity suppresses coupled-bunch instabilities and increases the beam lifetime of the Aladdin electron storage ring. When the storage ring is operated with a small momentum compaction, instabilities limit the utility of the Landau cavity. Analytical modeling of instability frequencies and growth rates, simulations, and experiments suggest that the observed instabilities result from coupling between dipole and quadrupole Robinson modes.
