Description
For future synchrotron light sources different acceleration modes are of interest including operation with negative momentum compaction.
The Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) is an accelerator test facility that enables the implementation of a wide variety of operation schemes. This possibility is utilised by testing optics with a negative momentum compaction factor at KARA. Studies of collective effects in this regime are being performed with close attention to the head-tail and microbunching instability.
In this contribution we will present the status of operation in the negative momentum compaction regime as well as first studies on collective effects.
