High-accuracy diagnostic tool for electron cloud observation in the LHC based on synchronous phase measurements

Electron cloud effects, which include heat load in the cryogenic system, pressure rise, and beam instabilities, are among the main intensity limitations for the LHC operation with 25 ns spaced bunches. A new observation tool was proposed and developed to monitor the e-cloud activity and it has alrea...
