Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 174801 (2002) [4 pages]Surface-Roughness Wakefield Measurements at Brookhaven Accelerator Test FacilityReceived 5 February 2002; published 3 October 2002 An experiment has been carried out at the Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility to investigate the effect of a surface-roughness wakefield in narrow beam tubes with artificially created bumps. The measurements show that the synchronous modes decay significantly due to the randomization of the roughness pattern. It is pointed out that this decay mechanism has not been investigated in the previous experiment at DESY and the investigators’ conclusion does not apply for surface-roughness wakefields in real surfaces. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
