Interaction between the bunches in the NLC main linac via long range wakefields can cause a beam breakup instability. Although the magnitude of the long range wakefields for an ideal NLC structure is below the instability threshold, the wake increases when structure manufacturing errors are taken into account. In case of large errors, the developing instability can result in the projected emittance dilution of the bunch train. To suppress the instability, we propose to introduce an energy spread between the bunches, similar to the BNS energy spread for damping of the beam breakup within a single bunch. Based on simple estimates, we show that the energy spread of order of 1-2% should be enough for suppression of the instability. The results of computer simulations with the simulation code LIAR confirm theoretical estimates and indicate that both the tolerances for structure misalignments and the incoming beam jitter can be considerably loosened by introducing the energy spread within the beam.
