Abstract
The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA). Measurements of electron cloud (EC) densities have been made at CesrTA using the TE Wave transmission technique. However, interpretation of the data based on single pass transmission is problematic because of reflections and standing waves produced by discontinuities in the beam pipe - from pumps, sliding joints, etc. that are normally present in an accelerator vacuum chamber. An alternative model is that of a resonant cavity, formed by the beampipe and its discontinuities. The theory for the measurement of plasma densities in cavities is well established. This paper will apply this theory to electron cloud measurements, present some simplified measurements on waveguide, and apply this model to the interpretation of some of the data taken at CesrTA.
