Transverse multibunch instabilities for two bunch trains on separated orbits

Transverse multibunch instabilities including the resistive wall instability and ion instabilities are investigated analytically and numerically for two bunch trains on separated orbits in a storage ring. The two separated orbits’ operating mode appears more stable against transverse multibunch instabilities than the conventional single orbit operating mode and may be beneficial to high current operations for colliders or synchrotron light sources
