The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator program includes investigations into the mitigation of electron cloud buildup using a variety of techniques in custom vacuum chambers. The CESR ring accommodates two such chambers equipped with BPM-style pickup detectors shielded against the direct beam-induced signal. The signals provide time-resolved information on cloud development. Results for diamond-like carbon, amorphous carbon, and TiN coatings have been compared to those for an uncoated aluminum chamber. Here we report on extensions to the ECLOUD modeling code which refine its description of a variety of new types of in situ vacuum chamber comparisons. Our results highlight the sensitivity afforded by these measurements to the modeled photoelectron production and secondary yield parameters. We draw conclusions comparing the photoelectron and secondary yield properties of the various vacuum chamber coatings, including conditioning effects as a function of synchrotron radiation dose. We find substantial conditioning effects in both the quantum efficiency for producing photoelectrons and in the secondary yield.
