The electron proton (e-p) instability has been observed in many proton accelerators. It will induce transverse beam size blow up, cause beam loss and restrict the machine performance. A simulation code is developed to study the electron proton instability in the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) ring. The results of numerical simulation of the electron cloud formation and the electron proton instability are presented.
