The application of glow discharge cleaning techniques for the surface conditioning of electron synchrotron vaccum vessels is discussed. Glow discharge techniques can be applied either as a surface treatment prior to vessel assembly or as an in-situ conditioning technique. In either application glow discharge treatments with a variety of reactant gases (Ar, Ar/O/sub 2/, He, and H/sub 2/) are shown to reduce particle-induced desorption coefficients, and thus reduce beam conditioning time. Specific methods of applying glow discharge treatments to electron synchrotrons are discussed, and a comparison of glow discharge with photoelectron-induced beam conditioning is presented.
