TI - Dynamic Pressure in the LHC: Detection of Ions Induced by Ionization of Residual Gas by the Proton Beam and by the Electron-Cloud J2 - Proc. of IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil, 24-28 May 2021 CY - Campinas, SP, Brazil T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 12 LA - english AB - Ultra-High Vacuum is an essential requirement to achieve design performances and high luminosities in high-energy particle colliders. Consequently, the understanding of the dynamic pressure evolution during accelerator operation is fundamental to provide solutions to mitigate pressure rises induced by multiple effects leading to beam instabilities. For the LHC, the appearance of instabilities may be due to the succession of several phenomena: (i) the induced desorption of gases adsorbed on the surfaces leading to pressure rises; (ii) the creation of secondary particles (ions, electrons); (iii) the production of the so-called Electron Cloud build-up by multipacting effect. This work aims to investigate some fundamental phenomena which drive the dynamic pressure in the LHC, namely the effects induced by electrons and ions interacting with the copper surface of the beam screens. Electron and ion currents, as well as pressure, were recorded in situ in the Vacuum Pilot Sector (VPS*) located on the LHC ring during the RUN II. By analyzing the results, more ions than expected were detected and the interplay between electrons, ions, and pressure changes was investigated.
