Mechanism of electron cloud clearing in the accumulator ring of the Spallation Neutron Source

We describe a mechanism using clearing electrodes and solenoids to remove the electron cloud in the Spallation Neutron Source’s accumulator ring. Simulation indicates that strong multipacting could happen at median clearing fields. A similar phenomenon was reported in an experimental study at Los Al...
