7 HIF-ECE distinguishing features Economic mandate to maximally fill beam pipe - ions scrape wall Linac with high line charge density (Beam potential φ b > 1 kv) Induction accelerator characteristics µs - If beam head scrapes: gas desorbed (Γ 0 ~ ) and secondary e - (Γ e ~ 100) trapped by rising φ b. Control of beam head is essential. - If beam flattop scrapes: gas desorbed, SEY not necessarily trapped. - If desorbed gas reaches beam: e - from ionized gas are deeply trapped by φ b, cold ions expelled. This is expected to be main e - source in HIF, especially near injection energies ( kev/amu) where atomic cross sections peak (~10-15 cm 2 ). - Electrons are trapped for time to drift through 1 magnet, then expelled. Beam-induced multipactor not present Trailing-edge multipactor not an issue ( 0.2 s between pulses). Molvik, ECloud04, 7
