Electron cloud has been identified as one of the highest priority issues for the ILC Damping Rings (DR). A working group has evaluated the electron cloud effect and instability, and mitigation solutions for the electron cloud formation. Working group deliverables include recommendations for the baseline and alternate solutions for the electron cloud mitigation in various regions of the ILC Positron DR, which is presently assumed to be the 3.2km design. Detailed studies of a range of mitigation options including coatings, clearing electrodes, grooves and novel concepts, were carried out over the previous several years by nearly 50 researchers, and the results of the studies form the basis for the recommendation. The assessments of the benefits or risks associated with the various options were based on a systematic ranking scheme. The recommendations are the result of the working group discussions held at numerous meetings and during a dedicated workshop. The mitigation choices will be also presented in a more detailed report later in 2012. In addition, a number of items requiring further investigation were identified and studies will be carried out at CesrTA and other institutions.

The Bmad software library has proved to be a useful tool for accelerator simulations owing to its modular, object-oriented design. It is now used in a number of design, simulation and control programs at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education. Work is ongoing to expand Bmad in a number of directions. One aim is tohave a complete framework in order to simulate Cornell's Energy Recovery Linac from Gun cathode (including space-charge) to photon generation to photon tracking through to the x-ray experimental end stations. Other work includes synchrotron radiation tracking including reflections from the vacuum chamber walls which is useful for electron cloud investigations, spin tracking, beam break-up instability, intra-beam scattering, etc. This paper will discuss the current state of the Bmad software along with the long-term goals.

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.

We present calculations of synchrotron radiation photon reflection in the vacuum chamber at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA), applying them as input to the electron cloud buildup code ECLOUD to model time-resolved local measurements with shielded pickup detectors. The recently developed SYNRAD3D photon-tracking code employs a reflection model based on data from the Center for X-Ray Optics at LBNL. This study investigates the dependence of electron cloud buildup on the azimuthal position and kinetic energy distribution of photoelectron production on the vacuum chamber wall.
