New PS EC Detector New electron cloud (EC) detectors have been installed in one of the PS main magnets to study EC effects in strong magnetic field conditions (B>1 T) Grid Biased Electrode: Measure current from EC [By Teddy Capelli EN/MME]
EC Detector EC detectors are used to measure the electron flux onto the chamber’s wall Electrons are collected by a shielded electrode and measured as a current signal Many thanks to M.Taborelli I_ ec e- V_bias
EC Detector: effect of the magnetic field In a drift space (B=0) electrons are free to move inside the chamber. In a strong dipolar magnetic field, the electrons move along helicoidal trajectories around the field lines. Inside the hole there is no multipactor effect, electrons come only from the edge B
Outline • Introduction • Simulation of EC detectors in PyECLOUD • First results for SPS like strip monitor • Comparison against previous ECLOUD simulations • Summary and future Work
Simulation method development • For the development we considered the EC detector installed in the SPS (strip detector) since we can compare against previous simulations and measurements (also with applied B)
Simulation method development • For the development we considered the EC detector installed in the SPS (strip detector) since we can compare against previous simulations and measurements (also with applied B) • 64 rows of holes shifted with respect to each other to explore different horizontal positions
Simulation strategy What we have done ? • Due to the symmetric and periodic geometry of detector, it is possible to calculate the total current considering only 7 different rows • Each row has a different position of the holes on the top wall of the beam pipe • The surface of beam pipe is made of adjacent segments of different size and SEY: x z

Simulations Comparison • The total currents (through the holes) for the different configurations look very similar • Small differences for intermediate B values I [uA] Aver. SEY=1.4
Simulations Comparison SEY=1.4 Total current calculated considering the 64 rows of the detector
Simulation results • Effect of the presence of the holes on the multipacting threshold • B=0 Threshold influenced by the holes (holes weaken the EC) • B=1000 G Threshold independent from the holes
Simulation results Decreasing the number of holes the threshold converges to the unperturbed case
Simulation results • Electron flux profile with and without the holes for strong B B = 0.1 T, SEY = 1.35 • EC is suppressed at the hole locations but gets enhanced elsewhere • the effect could be related to the electron space charge
Simulations Comparison Simulation results are compatible with results of previous studies Previous ECLOUD simulation results PyECLOUD simulations G. Rumolo, 2009

Summary and future work • The capability of simulating EC detectors has been implemented in PyECLOUD • First application study of SPS strip detector • The presence of the holes in the chamber perturbs the EC distribution • For low B, leads to a significant increase of the multipacting threshold • For high B, results in no change in threshold but stronger multipacting between holes because of less space charge • Successful benchmark with existing ECLOUD simulations for an SPS strip detector • Results reproduce well previous simulation performed with ECLOUD • Next steps • Apply model to PS shielded pick up in SS98 and compare with 2011/2012 time resolved data • Apply model for the new PS ecloud detectors in MU98 and predict 2014 measurements
Simulations Comparison Mean value of current considering the first 7 rows, for different SEY.
