Measurements of electron cloud density in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron with the microwave transmission method

The electron cloud effect can pose severe performance limitations in high-energy particle accelerators as the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Mitigation techniques such as vacuum chamber thin film coatings with low secondary electron yields (SEY<1.3) aim to reduce or even suppress this effec...
