The Electron Cloud Instability at Pep-ii
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electron cloud instability (ECI) at PEP-II enlarges the positron beam size at high currents and reduces the luminosity. The electrons for this instability come from multipacting electrons in the straight section vacuum chambers and, perhaps, photo-emission and secondary emission of electrons from the vacuum ante-chambers in the arcs. Solenoid and transverse field magnets have been placed over the vacuum chambers with about a 30 gauss field to suppress ECI. These fields have been successful in reducing the positron beam size blow up. Only about half of the drift vacuum chambers in LER have been wound with solenoids. Earlier ECI measurements are described in reference [1].

Suppression of the Beam Instability Related to Electron Cloud at Pep-ii B-factory*
PEP-II B-factory operates at a record high circulating current currently ~2.5 A in the positron ring. Electron cloud effects became apparent [1] when the positron ring current reached ~ 0.7 A with a bunch current ~1.5 mA. Initially, electron cloud induced beam instabilities significantly limited collider luminosity [2]. However, suppression of the electron cloud related beam instabilities have ...
متن کاملSimulation of Head-Tail Instability Caused by Electron Cloud in the Positron Ring at PEP-II∗
The head-tail instability caused by an electron cloud in positron storage rings is studied numerically using a simple model. In the model, the positron beam is longitudinally divided into many slices that have a fixed transverse size. The centroid of each slice evolves dynamically according to the interaction with a two-dimensional electron cloud at a given azimuthal location in the ring and a ...
متن کاملThe Electron-cloud Instability in Pep-ii: an Update
We present an update on the estimate of the growth time of the multi-bunch transverse instability in the PEP-II collider arising from the interaction of the positron beam with the accumulated electron cloud. We estimate the contributions to the growth rate arising from the dipole magnets and from the pumping straight sections. We emphasize those quantities upon which the instability is most sen...
متن کاملSecondary Electron Yield Measurements and Groove Chambers Updated Tests in the Pep-ii Beam Line*
Beam instability caused by the electron cloud has been observed in positron and proton storage rings and it is expected to be a limiting factor in the performance of the positron Damping Ring (DR) of future Linear Colliders such as ILC and CLIC [1, 2]. In the Positron Low Energy Ring (LER) of the PEP-II accelerator, we have installed vacuum chambers with rectangular grooves in a straight magnet...
متن کاملElectron - Cloud E ects in High - Luminosity Colliders
Electron-cloud instabilities are expected to be important in most high-lu-minosity double-ring colliders. In this report, I describe a few parameter regimes and some critical parameter dependences of this type of instability, and illustrate these with simulation results for the PEP-II and KEK B factories , the LHC, the VLHC, and DAPHNE. In addition, I study the possibility and the potential imp...
