The RHIC warm section electron cloud is distinguished from normal short bunch electron cloud, observed in many machines, by the much longer bunch spacing and non-uniform distribution in the ring. It is suspected that the beam halo scraping produced positive ions may help secondary electrons to stay longer. Local desorption leading to more residual gas being ionized by the beam may be important too. Anti-grazing ridges are designed to counteract these mechanisms. This article reviews the RHIC warm section electron cloud, the beam scraping effect, and the test of anti-grazing ridges.
