The Electron Cloud• Fermilab and the intensity frontier – Accelerators are approaching a new regime
in intensity– Many difficulties are associated with
increased intensity
• Increased intensity results in electron cloud instabilities– Very hard problem to solve analytically– Not well understood
![Page 3: The Electron Cloud And Secondary Electron Yield](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568162d0550346895dd35e1a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Electron Cloud• A secondary effect of accelerating
particles– Primary electrons collide with beam pipe and
components and generate secondary electrons• In proton/antiproton accelerators, primary
electrons are formed mostly from residual gas ionization
• In electron/positron machines, primary electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect
– Secondary electron yield greater than unity for most materials => AMPLIFICATION!

Secondary Electron Yield• Combat electron cloud formation by
reducing secondary electron yield
• Commission a test stand to examine different materials for use in a beam line–Must be vacuum compatible– Durable– Have a low SEY

SEY Measurement Technique
• Bias the sample to +500 volts and measure beam current
• Bias sample to -50 volts and measure current• SEY current is the difference between the -50 V
bias reading and the +500 V bias reading• SEY is then given as the ratio of SEY current to
beam current

Refining the Technique• Stray magnetic fields from gauge and ion pump
had an unknown effect on low energy beams• Mu-metal shielding
• SEY measurements appeared to be sensitive to gun parameters• Spot size changes as parameters change• Measurement drift due to self-conditioning
• Perform beam studies• Speed up measurements by automating process with LabView
• SEY current from residual gas ionization (i.e. not all of the measured current was necessarily from sample)
• Improve vacuum
![Page 12: The Electron Cloud And Secondary Electron Yield](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568162d0550346895dd35e1a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Refinements• Shielded gauge using AD-MU-80; a high nickel
alloy with a very large μ– Magnetic field reduced to a maximum of 3 gauss
outside the chamber and ~ 1 gauss in the chamber• Installed an ion pump– Vacuum improved to 4.1 E -7
-> Dirty sample (typical monolayer formation time ~ 25 seconds according to Building Scientific Apparatus by Moore, Davis and Coplan)
• Performed basic beam study; spot size measured through beam extinction technique
![Page 13: The Electron Cloud And Secondary Electron Yield](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568162d0550346895dd35e1a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mystery Magnetics• Vacuum gauge produces a field of roughly 30
gauss at the KF flange• After removal, 8-9 gauss still measured inside the
chamber!• Supports for the test stand were magnetic; fields
on the order of 42 gauss!
• SOLUTION: Build degausser using a half torroid ferrite and a variac.

Questions About Conditioning(Future Work)
• How does the conditioning beam energy effect sample conditioning?– Produce SEY comparisons of conditioned and unconditioned
samples for several different conditioning energies
• How does sample bias effect conditioning?– Conditioning current measured from EGPS “emission
current”, which does not always match actual beam current– Can the sample be effectively conditioned with a large
positive bias (allowing more accurate dose measurements)?

Investigate Spot Size• Installed an aperture• Measurement technique:– Feed aperture into beam; record position when beam
current is reduced to 99% of the unobstructed beam current
– Continue feeding until beam current drops to 1% of unobstructed beam current and record position
• Double edge aperture used to gain a rough beam profile– Raster aperture back and forth, recording the current
as a function of position

What’s Going On?Three Cases
• ~ 400 eV to 200 eV range => artificially high SEY from overlap condition
• ~600 eV to 400 eV range => appears as a plateau
• ~2000 eV to 600 eV range => qualitatively looks fine but still suffering from slight overlap
Ideal Case

CONCLUSION• Successful proof of technique– Setup for biasing the sample is robust and easily
controlled, either manually or via computer– Low noise– Reasonable results
• Need to develop a solid set of gun parameters for future measurements– Raster the beam for a larger, more uniform conditioning?
• Future work should also include a formal study of conditioning
