Electron Cloud Buildup Characterization Using Shielded Pickup Measurements and Custom Modeling Code at CESRTA
The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator experimental program
includes investigations into electron cloud buildup, applying various
mitigation techniques in custom vacuum chambers. Among these are two 1.1-m-long
sections located symmetrically in the east and west arc regions. These chambers
are equipped with pickup detectors shielded against the direct beam-induced
signal. They detect cloud electrons migrating through an 18-mm-diameter pattern
of small holes in the top of the chamber. A digitizing oscilloscope is used to
record the signals, providing time-resolved information on cloud development.
Carbon-coated, TiN-coated and uncoated aluminum chambers have been tested.
Electron and positron beams of 2.1, 4.0 and 5.3 GeV with a variety of bunch
populations and spacings in steps of 4 and 14 ns have been used. Here we report
on results from the ECLOUD modeling code which highlight the sensitivity of
these measurements to the physical phenomena determining cloud buildup such as
the photoelectron production azimuthal and energy distributions, and the
secondary yield parameters including the true secondary, re-diffused, and
elastic yield values.Comment: Presented at ECLOUD'12: Joint INFN-CERN-EuCARD-AccNet Workshop on

Non-linear shock acceleration and high energy gamma rays from clusters of galaxies
Merger and accretion shocks in clusters of galaxies can accelerate particles
via first order Fermi process. Since this mechanism is believed to be
intrinsically efficient, shocks are expected to be modified by the backreaction
of the accelerated particles. Such a modification might induce appreciable
effects on the non--thermal emission from clusters and a suppression of the
heating of the gas at strong shocks. Here we consider in particular the gamma
ray emission and we discuss the capability of Cherenkov telescopes such as HESS
to detect clusters at TeV energies.Comment: 6 pages, to appear in the proceedings of the Gamma 2004 Symposium on

Cycling popularity - does it have a real impactt on the environment?
Transport as a one of the most important branches of the economy, every year, consumes a loads of energy. It refers to the passenger transport and the transport of goods. There is a strong role of local governments across the Europe to decrease the impact of the passenger transport on the environment. This goal has been achieving by bottom up model of governance. Shortly, the bottom up model is defined as a strong influence of local society on the decision making. Usually the local policy on sustainable transport aims to promote the cycling as an environmental friendly mode of transport, instead of the car traffic.
