Wake field analysis and modelling of microwave instability in the ILC damping ring

Wake field simulations are performed for given technical designs of the vacuum chamber components for the 6.4 km ILC damping ring, in order to calculate longitudinal wake functions. Modelling of the microwave instability based on multi-turn tracking with many particles is described. A comparison is presented between the potential well distortion found from solving the Haissinski equation and the results of tracking simulations. The threshold for the microwave instability is found for the given designs and lattice parameters.
