Title: Suppression of the Beam Instability Related to Electron Cloud at PEP-II B-Factory

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/839812· OSTI ID:839812

PEP-II B-factory operates at a record high circulating current--currently {approx}2.5 A in the positron ring. Electron cloud effects became apparent when the positron ring current reached {approx}0.7 A with a bunch current {approx}1.5 mA. Initially, electron cloud induced beam instabilities significantly limited collider luminosity. However, suppression of the electron cloud related beam instabilities have been achieved with {approx}30 Gauss solenoids covering the drift sections of LER vacuum chamber.
