Electron Cloud Effects in the KEK‐PS and the KEK/JAERI Joint Project

An e‐p instability is potentially a serious problem for proton rings in JKJ, which forces us to study the e‐p instability in several high‐intensity proton rings. This work informs JKJ whether we have to take measures to cure the instability. A TiN coating on the chamber surface is one of remedies. Results of SEY measurements performed at KEK are discussed. The observation of electron cloud candidates at the KEK 12 GeV PS Main Ring is also presented.
