Electron cloud simulations in the Fermilab booster

Conference · · JACoW
As part of Fermilab's Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II),the Fermilab Booster synchrotron will operate at a higherintensity, increasing from 4.5 x 10^12 to 6.7 x 10^12 protons per pulse (ppp). A potential challenge for achievinghigh intensity performance arises from rapid transverse instabilities induced by electron cloud (EC). This researchpresents EC simulations using PyECLOUD, which is anadvanced computational tool that incorporates measurements of the secondary electron yield (SEY) from theBooster's combined function magnet material. By systematically varying beam parameters in PyECLOUD, such asbunch structure, SEY, bunch length, and intensity, it becomes possible to forecast the impact of EC effects on thebeam stability of the PIP-II era Booster.
