We provide a detailed description of model and its computational algorithm for the secondary electron emission process. The is based on broad phenomenological fit to data secondary-emission yield emitted-energy spectrum. two sets values parameters by fitting our particular sets, one copper other stainless steel.
Present and future accelerators' performances may be limited by the electron cloud (EC) effect. The EC formation evolution are determined wall-surface properties of accelerator vacuum chamber. We present measurements total secondary yield (SEY) related energy distribution curves electrons as a function incident-electron energy. Particular attention has been paid to emission process due very low-energy primary ($<20\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$). It is shown that SEY approaches unity...
The BaBar detector operated successfully at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e− collider SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1999 to 2008. This report covers upgrades, operation, and performance of systems, as well trigger, online offline computing, aspects event reconstruction since beginning data taking.
We have applied our simulation code POSINST to evaluate the contribution growth rate of electron cloud instability in proton storage rings. In particular, we present here recent results for main features ring Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge, and updated Proton Storage Ring Los Alamos. A key ingredient model is a detailed description secondary emission process, including refined emitted energy spectrum, three components yield, namely, true secondary, rediffused backscattered components.
We present a brief summary of various aspects the electron-cloud effect (ECE) in accelerators. For further details, reader is encouraged to refer proceedings many prior workshops, either dedicated EC or with significant contents, including entire "ECLOUD" series [122]. In addition, flavors Particle Accelerator Conferences [23] contain large number EC-related publications. The ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletter [24] contains one issue, and several occasional articles, on EC. An extensive reference...

Electron effects in the High Current Experiment (HCX) are studied via computer simulation. An approximate expression for secondary electron yield a potassium ion striking stainless steel is derived and compared with experimental results. This has peak of roughly 55 electrons at normal incidence an energy 60 MeV. Using empirical angular dependence, combined numerical simulation HCX beam dynamics to obtain estimate number expected per ion-wall collision HCX. that approximately 150--200 may result
It was shown recently that it may be computationally advantageous to perform computer simulations in a Lorentz boosted frame for certain class of systems. However, even if the model relies on covariant set equations, pointed out algorithmic difficulties related discretization errors have overcome order take full advantage potential speedup. In this paper, we summarize findings, and their solutions, review applications technique been performed date.
As a result of the synchrotron radiation from positively-charged beam, an electron cloud is expected to develop in vacuum chamber combined effects photoelectric and secondary emission processes.

We have augmented the code POSINST to include solenoid fields and used it simulate buildup of electron cloud due in PEP-II positron ring. find that distribution electrons is strongly affected by resonances associated with cyclotron period bunch spacing. In addition, we discover a threshold beyond which density grows exponentially until reaches space charge limit. The does not depend on spacing but population.
Accelerators for heavy-ion inertial fusion energy (HIF) have an economic incentive to fit beam tubes tightly beams, putting them at risk from electron clouds produced by emission of electrons and gas walls.
