Electron cloud confined to move in the vertical direction by either the wiggler field or a dipole field has been investigated extensively. We present results of an analysis demonstrating that electrons may be trapped in the region of zero vertical field of a wiggler. Their characteristic frequency and life-time are established and some of the implications are discussed.

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) for a program of electron cloud (EC) research at ultra low emittance. The instrumentation in the ring has been upgraded with local diagnostics for measurement of cloud density and with improved beam diagnostics for the characterization of both the low emittance performance and the beam dynamics of high intensity bunch trains interacting with the cloud. Finally a range of EC mitigation methods have been deployed and tested. Measurements of cloud density and its impact on the beam under a range of conditions will be presented and compared with simulations. The effectiveness of a range of mitigation techniques will also be discussed.
