 Electron Cloud Effects / Iadarola, G (CERN) ; Rumolo, G (CERN) Secondary electron emission in combination with the elecromagnetic fields generated by a bunched beam can lead to the formation of electron clouds in the beam chambers of particle accelerators. The interaction of the circulating beam with the e-cloud can lead to transverse instabilities, beam losses, transverse emittance degradation. [...] 2018 - 8 p. - Published in : CERN Yellow Rep. Conf.

 ERL17 Workshop, WG2 Summary: Optics, Beam Dynamics and Instrumentation / Bogacz, Alex (Jefferson Lab) ; Schulte, Daniel (CERN) During the workshop a number of interesting projects were discussed: ERL at KEK, ALICE, PERLE, LHeC, eRHIC, CBETA, ERL for MESA and BERLinPro; a nice mixture of future, existing and past facilities. A rather vigorous development of new ERLs is aggressively pushing the limits: maximizing number of passes, maximizing virtual beam power, opening longitudinal acceptance, mitigation of limiting factors: BBU, CSR/microbunching, diagnostics and Instrumentation for multiple beams, multiparticle tracking studies of dark current and halo formation.

 Needs and Solutions for Machine Impedance Reduction / Vollinger, C (CERN) ; Farricker, A (CERN) ; Kaltenbacher, T R (CERN) ; Kramer, P (CERN) ; Popovic, B K (CERN) Particle beams with highest possible beam intensities are requested nowadays, hence in modern circular accelerators, the consideration of beam coupling impedance issues is of increasing relevance. Classical sources of beam coupling impedance are RF-systems, injection and extraction kickers, but also beam diagnostic elements such as wire scanners where the object itself forms an undesired cavity, and beam pipe transitions, namely tapers or steps.
