The TE wave propagation method has become a widely used technique for measuring electron cloud density in an accelerator beampipe. In most instances the wave very low power is not capable of affecting the low-energy electrons distribution. During experiments in the CESR Damping Ring Test Accelerator (Cesr-TA), we have observed a particular situation where a resonance between the wave and a dipole magnetic field produces a large modification in the electron cloud distribution that can be measured by other detectors. We believe this resonance is strongly dependent on the geometry of standing waves pattern that discontinuities in the beampipe generate. We present measurements in Cesr-TA, which describe the effect and are in support of our hypothesis.

The TE wave propagation method has become a widely used technique for measuring electron cloud density in an accelerator beampipe. In most instances the wave very low power is not capable of affecting the low-energy electrons distribution. During experiments in the CESR Damping Ring Test Accelerator (Cesr-TA), we have observed a particular situation where a resonance between the wave and a dipole magnetic field produces a large modification in the electron cloud distribution that can be measured by other detectors.
