The The modulation modulation features features are are thought thought to to be be transverse transverse because they do not appear on longitudinal diagnostics because they do not appear on longitudinal diagnostics such as the beam current toroid (CT) or resistive wall such as the beam current toroid (CT) or resistive wall monitor (RWM) in the RCS. Thus, coupling from monitor (RWM) in the RCS. Thus, coupling from longitudinal motion into the transverse plane may also longitudinal motion into the transverse plane may also help to damp the resistive wall instability. The broad help to damp the resistive wall instability. The broad sidebands are not present when the scrambler is off. sidebands are not present when the scrambler is off.
