Measurement and modeling of electron-cloud-induced betatron tune shifts at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring test accelerator

We report on extensive measurements at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring of electron-cloud-induced betatron tune shifts for trains of positron bunches at 2.1 and 5.3 GeV with bunch populations ranging between 0.64x10^10 and 9.6x10^10. Measurements using a witness bunch with variable distance from the end of the train and variable bunch population provide information on cloud decay and cloud pinching during the bunch passage. We employ Monte Carlo simulations of the reflection and absorption of synchrotron radiation photons to determine the pattern of absorption sites around the circumference of the storage ring. The Geant4 simulation toolkit is used to model the interactions of the photons with the beampipe wall and determine the production energy and location distributions of the photoelectrons which seed the electron cloud. An electron cloud buildup model based on fitted ring-averaged secondary-yield properties of the vacuum chamber predicts tune shifts in good agreement with the measurements.
