  The detailed study of the Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) of technical Cu for very low electron landing energies (from 0 to 30 eV) is very important for electron cloud build up in high intensity accelerators and in many other fields of research. However, this question has been rarely addressed due to the intrinsic experimental complexity to control very low energy electrons. Furthermore, several results published in the past have been recently questioned for allegedly suffering from experimental systematics. In this paper, we critically review the experimental method used to study low energy SEY and define more precise energy regions, in which the experimental data can be considered valid. The new SEY curves are then fed into e-cloud simulation codes to address their impact for electron cloud predictions in the LHC.

  Electron cloud is an ubiquitous effect in positively charged particle accelerators and has been observed to induce unwanted detrimental impacts on beam quality, stability, vacuum etc. A great effort has been recently devoted to the search of new material morphology and/or coatings which can intrinsically mitigate beam instabilities deriving from electron cloud effects. In this context, we present some characterization of Cu foams, available from the market, and their qualification in terms of their vacuum behavior, impedance, secondary electron yield, gas desorption etc. More experimental effort is required to finally qualify foams as a mature technology to be integrated in accelerator environments. But, our preliminary results suggests that, when compatible with geometrical constrains, Cu foams can be utilized when low desorption yields are required and as e-cloud moderator in future particles accelerators.
