Amorphous carbon coatings for the mitigation of electron cloud in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron

Electron cloud buildup is a major limitation for high-energy particle accelerators such as the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Amorphous carbon thin films with low initial secondary electron yield (SEY≅1.0) have been applied as a mitigation material in the SPS vacuum chambers. This paper summar...
