Electron Clouds at SLAC Johnny Ng ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Meeting March 4, 2009

Electron Cloud R&D Program at SLAC Goal: Reduce the SEY below instability threshold: SEY < 1.1 Important for accelerators at the energy (LHC,ILC) as well as intensity frontiers (Project-X, Super-B factory) Surface Treatment: Coatings Conditioning: reduce SEY via photon/electron/ion irradiation Grooved chamber walls: trap low energy electrons Clearing electrodes (KEK) Experiments in PEP-II: ECLOUD1 (Jan. 2007 – Apr. 2008): Conditioning effect on SEY ECLOUD2 (Jan. 2007 – Apr. 2008): Test grooved chambers ECLOUD3 (Dec. 2007- Apr. 2008): Effect in dipole magnetic field Simulation and benchmarking ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ECLOUD Experiments at PEP-II ECLOUD3: Uncoated and TiN-coated aluminum chamber in chicane ECLOUD2: grooved chambers ECLOUD1: SEY Station

ECLOUD1 – Conditioning and SEY Expose samples to PEP-II LER synchrotron radiation and electron conditioning. Then, measure Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) in laboratory. Samples transferred under vacuum. 20 mm PEP-II LER side (Stainless steel chamber) sample surface exposed to SR Complementary to CERN and KEK studies

ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09 Recap: ECLOUD1 Results Goal: monitor the reduction in-situ of the SEY due to conditioning Results: TiN coating: SEY reduced to < 1. Stable after long term (>1000 h) recontamination exposure to H and CO under vacuum. Uncoated aluminum: SEY > 2 with/without conditioning. Other preliminary findings: Activated NEG coating: SEY ~ 1.1 Copper: SEY reduced to < 1.2 Stainless steel: SEY reduced to < 1.2, but increased to 1.5 after recontamination exposure in vacuum References: F.

ECLOUD2 – Grooved Chambers in PEP-II Rectangular groove (or “fin”) chambers fabricated by extrusion. Grooved chamber Flat chamber e+ Standard (flat) chambers also installed as reference. All aluminum with TiN coating installed in straight sections. Electron detectors ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09 Recap: ECLOUD2 Results Goal: Measure performance of electron cloud suppression using grooved chambers Electron cloud signal is ~ factor of 20 smaller in grooved TiN chambers compared to flat TiN chambers Confirmed reduced electron cloud build-up in TiN coated chambers compared with uncoated stainless steel chambers.

ECLOUD3 – Electron Cloud in a Dipole Retarding Field Analyzer (RFA): - electron flux at the wall - energy spectrum - lateral distribution ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ECLOUD3: Electron cloud in a dipole Uncoated aluminum chamber TiN-coated aluminum chamber Lateral distribution consistent with simulation. L. Wang et al, SLAC ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ECLOUD3: Magnetic field strength Electron flux peaks (and valleys) separated by integer values of n. Phase of cyclotron motion with respect to bunch crossing affects energy gain, possibly leading to the observed modulation in electron flux at the chamber wall. ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ECLOUD3: New resonance effect in a dipole ECLOUD signal vs. B-field, summed over all strips Uncoated Al TiN-coated Al TiN-coated chamber shows orders of magnitude lower signal Resonances expected from simulation (C. Celata et al., LBNL) Data analysis continuing, with simulation efforts. ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09 ECLOUD3: Summary Goal: mitigation of electron clouds in a dipole magnetic field region Preliminary results: Demonstrated TiN-coating is effective in a dipole Characterized electron cloud dynamics in a dipole Observed new resonance: modulation in electron flux as field strength is varied References: M. Pivi, J. Ng et al., EPAC 2008; paper submitted for publicatoin ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ECloud Experiments Redeployed at Cesr-TA ECloud 1, 2, & 3 have been relocated to Cesr-TA (See Mark Palmer’s talk for current status) Grooved chamber for dipole: Chamber fabricated, Machining and cleaning done Leak check this week, then welding and coating, etc.. Expect completion early May Morrison, Pivi, Wang, SLAC ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09

ILC Damping Rings Collaboration Mtg, 3/4/09 Summary & Outlook TiN coating has been demonstrated to have an SEY reliably below the instability threshold. Continue to investigate remaining issues at SLAC: TiN long term durability (measure PEP-II TiN chamber samples) SEY measurement in magnetic field Continue on-going simulation efforts SLAC is a key collaborator with other labs to develop complementary mitigation techniques.
