Several techniques have been employed to measure the electron cloud (EC) density in accelerators. These include Time Resolved Retarding Field Analyzers (TR-RFA) and Shielded Pickups (SPU) that measure the flux of cloud electrons onto the beam-pipe wall, as well as TE wave resonance techniques that measure the EC density in a region within the volume of the beam-pipe. We have made measurements to test the EC mitigation properties of different surface coatings and geometries, often with more than one technique used in the same test chamber. We present a comparison of bare aluminum chambers with those having a TiN coating, as well as the effect of beam conditioning. In addition, we will compare the results of the different measurement techniques used in the same chamber. These measurements were made at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) which has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) having positron or electron beam energies ranging from 2 GeV to 5 GeV.

The Next Generation Light Source at LBNL will deliver MHz repetition rate electron beams to an array of free electron lasers. Because of the high beam power approaching one MW in such a facility, effective beam collimation is extremely important to minimize radiation damage, prevent quenches of superconducting cavities, limit dose rates outside of the accelerator tunnel and prevent equipment damage. This paper describes the conceptual design of a collimation system, including detailed simulations to verify its effectiveness.

Control and mitigation of transverse beam instabilities caused by electron cloud and TMCI will be essential for the SPS to meet the beam intensity demands for the HL-LHC upgrade. A wideband intra-bunch feedback method is in development, based on a 4 GS/s data acquisition and processing, and with a back end frequency structure extending to 1 GHz. A slotted type kicker, similar to those used for stochastic cooling, has been considered as the terminal element of the feedback chain. It offers the most promising deflecting structure characteristics to meet the system requirements in terms of bandwidth, shunt impedance, and beam coupling impedance. Different types of slotted structures have been explored and simulated, including a ridged waveguide and coaxial type waveguide. In this paper we present our findings and the conceptual design of a vertical SPS wideband kicker consistent with the stay clear, vacuum, frequency band coverage, and peak shunt impedance requirements.
