Measuring the secondary electron yield (SEY) on technical surfaces in accelerator vacuum systems provides essential information for the study of electron cloud growth and suppression, with application to many accelerator R&D projects. As a part of the CesrTA research program, we developed and deployed an in-situ SEY measurement system. A two-sample SEY system was installed in the CesrTA vacuum system with one sample exposed to direct synchrotron radiation (SR) and the other sample exposed to scattered SR. The SEYs of both samples were measured as a function of the SR dosages. In this paper, we describe the in-situ SEY measurement systems and the initial results on bare aluminum (6061-T6), TiN-coated aluminum, amorphous carbon-coated aluminum, and amorphous carbon-coated copper samples.
