1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear

•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the

An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron

A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of

Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

by electron bombardment
•Tune shifts
by Coulomb force of the electron cloud
•Coupled bunch instability

2)Following cures have been taken or are under consideration.
a) Reduction of the number of primary electrons
•Ante-chamber
b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

c) Confinement electrons in the vicinity to the chamber wall
by weak solenoid field (B factories)
d) Stabilizing beam
•Bunch by bunch feedback (i.e. damper)
•Landau damping by sextupoles and octupoles.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the

An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron

A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of

Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

by electron bombardment
•Tune shifts
by Coulomb force of the electron cloud
•Coupled bunch instability

2)Following cures have been taken or are under consideration.
a) Reduction of the number of primary electrons
•Ante-chamber
b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

•Beam scrubbing
c) Confinement electrons in the vicinity to the chamber wall
by weak solenoid field (B factories)
d) Stabilizing beam
•Bunch by bunch feedback (i.e. damper)
•Landau damping by sextupoles and octupoles.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the

•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of

An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron

A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of

Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

•Ante-chamber
b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the

secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Tune shifts

b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the

•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of

An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron

A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

•Tune shifts
by Coulomb force of the electron cloud
•Coupled bunch instability

2)Following cures have been taken or are under consideration.
a) Reduction of the number of primary electrons
•Ante-chamber
b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

5. Summary
•The electron clouds produce various effects such as pressure rise, beam
induced multipacting, heat load, tune shifts, coupled bunch instability, beam
size blowup and so on which often limit the performance of existing
accelerators and would be a potential threat in under constructing and future
accelerators such as intense neutron sources and damping rings of linear
colliders.
•Many dedicated or standard instrumentations have contributed to understand the
electron cloud effects and give the data for a benchmark of simulation programs.
•The effort to refine and develop the diagnostics should be continued further to
improve the performance of existing accelerators and to predict performance of
future accelerators.
An example of challenges for experimentalists is the measurement of the electron
cloud in magnetic fields at beam location.
A question : Are electrons accumulated at the center of quad
where there is no magnetic field ?

Why magnetic field ?
•In B factories, most drift space has been covered by solenoids.
•In some machines (BEPCII, DAFNE, PSR, SPS...) a large fraction of
rings is already occupied by magnets.
Why at beam location ?
•Beam instabilities, especially a single bunch instability, are largely
affected by the electron cloud near a beam.
Measurement would be difficult because detectors are usually located on a
chamber wall (i.e., peripheral) while motion of electrons is affected by magnetic
fields by the time they reach at the detectors.

1. Introduction
Many (primary) electrons are generated in accelerators.
Electron/positron rings : photoelectrons produced by synchrotron radiation.
Proton rings : electrons produced by a proton hitting chamber wall, collimator,
and stripping foil for charge exchange injection,
phtoelectrons(i.e. LHC).

If charge of a beam is positive, primary electrons receive a kick from the
beam toward the center of beam pipe and hit the opposite wall, then
secondary electrons are produced.
Maximum secondary electron yield(SEY) ∼ 1.4 for Cu, 2 for SUS
If a condition is satisfied, amplification of electrons occur (beam induced multipacting).
Primary and secondary electrons form a group of electrons called an electron cloud.

•Electrical noise to instrumentations
•Beam induced multipacting
•Heat load on a cold chamber wall (LHC)

•Tune shifts
by Coulomb force of the electron cloud
•Coupled bunch instability
by long/medium wake force of the electron cloud
•Single bunch (strong head-tail) instability

2)Following cures have been taken or are under consideration.
a) Reduction of the number of primary electrons
•Ante-chamber
b) Reduction of the number of secondary electrons
•Processed chamber surface by TiN or NEG(TiZrV) coating.
•Grooved surface

Idea to measure the electron density near beam (K. Kanazawa)
Energetic electrons are produced near the bunch because of strong beam kick.
The retarding bias defines the observed volume around the beam from which
observed electrons come.
From the electron current per bunch and the retarding voltage, the cloud
density near the beam just before the arrival of the bunch can be estimated.
