Two type of pressure rises observed at RHIC 2003 run

*the beam transition pressure rise for ions

*the electron cloud induced pressure rise at the injection

The residual gas composition during multipacting and its evolution along the pressure rise is very helpful toward our

understanding in this critical issue

Extensive studies at CERN have shown that water vapour plays an important role in the contribution of the SEY. It is possible that the presence of water molecules increases the sticking probability for other gases.

B - Sweep during fill #3812. (N=1.5 •1010 p-pb).

Even at the maximum value of B, VED is only reduced by a factor of ~3 (not enough to fully suppress the cloud).~in RHIC we have ~7% solenoids covering,Maybe more solenoid needed in the future.

Solenoid Field Effect(3)

B can help to fully suppress the e-cloud during fill #3530. (N=1.1 •1010 p-pb).

PSR:

EC was reduced by a factor ~50 by ~20G solenoid field. However, there was no measurable effect on the instability threshold when weak solenoids covering ~10% of the ring circumference were excited.

Solenoid Field Effect(4)

From the simulation, we can see no electron in the center of the beam pipe if we use equal polarity solenoid field

Conclusions and Future Works

• Evidence that solenoid will help to reduce the electron cloud build up• Residual gas spectrum show electron stimulated desorption due to multipacting

• Improve electron detector design • Verify experimentally the effectiveness TiZrV NEG coating to reduce the electron cloud build up after activated at 250°C(max ~ 1.1) and also after saturation (max <1.2~1.3)

• More solenoid(~30%), more NEG pipes(~300m), in-situ SEY measurement
