Beam effects: bunch intensity, threshold Reminder • Intensity threshold : • August 1999: 4.3x1010 p/b April 2000: 6.4x1010 p/b • Pressures do not vary appreciably up to a threshold bunch intensity and then, increase with the bunch intensity. • Amplitude of the signals measured on the pick-up also increase with the bunch intensity. • Influence of a magnetic field • Threshold in magnetic field free regions: 6.0 to 7.0x1010 p/b • Threshold in dipole magnetic fields: 3.0 to 4.0x1010 p/b Cannot be attributed to systematic errors since the gauges do not resent the magnetic field. One explanation could come from the simulations which showed that the electrons of the e- cloud are confined in the vertical plane in a dipole magnetic field (F. Zimmerman).

Scrubbing effect Reminder • Scrubbing effect observed in the SPS • Pressure rises decrease with time 30 times after about 2.5 integrated days of LHC-type beam e- cloud activity no longer affect pressures • Threshold bunch intensity increased from 4.0x1010 in August 1999 up to 6.6x1010 in June 2000 • Clear indication of a modification of the characteristics of the surface • N2 glow discharge against e- cloud • First cycle of experiments showed no difference between the non-treated and treated chambers • After air exposure, treated chamber showed a memory of the scrubbing • Scrubbing effect is effective up to the bunch intensity used for the commissioning. Pressure will rise for higher bunch intensities

Conclusions • Beam effects: bunch intensity, threshold, bunch length • Dipole field regions: threshold measured at 2.0x1010 p/b • 3.0x1010 p/b in 2000 • Field free regions: threshold measured at 5.0x1010 p/b • 6.0x1010 p/b in 2000 • lower threshold measured could be explained by the venting of the whole SPS to air during the long shutdown. • Below the threshold of the field free region, when the dipole magnetic field is switched off, the e- cloud signal immediately disappeared. • The bunch length affects strongly the e- cloud, decreasing the bunch length from 5ns to 2ns increase the intensity by 50%. • Current density • Above the threshold, the current increases linearly, up to 5.5x1010 p/b, no saturation effect was observed
Conclusions • Width of the e- cloud • The width of the e- cloud strip increases with the beam intensity. At 6.0x1010 p/b, the width is already bigger than 20mm and therefore, the first line of holes (7.5 mm from the axis) in the beam screen sees the e- cloud. With the present design of the beam screen, the e- cloud will see the second line (11.5mm from the axis) at an intensity of 7.0x1010 p/b. • Effect of the magnetic field strength on the e- cloud • A strong effect of the dipole field strength on the e- could behavior was shown, mainly for field below 200 G. • Below 20 Gauss, the electron cloud disappears and a maximum was found around 50 gauss. • This effect does not affect the LHC since the field at injection is about 5500 Gauss
Conclusions • Beam scrubbing • After 7h of LHC-type beam (integrated time above the threshold of 2.0x1010 p/b in the dipole field region), no cleaning effect is visible. • This result is consistent with the measurements of last year presented in EPAC. • Only low intensities <5.0x1010 p/b with small duty cycle (~ 5-10%) were used. This limitation was imposed by the fixed-target beam blow up induced by the e- cloud pressure rises
