Funding: Support provided by the US National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy. A central component of the operation of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as a Test Accelerator (CesrTA) for ILC Damping Rings R&D is the characterization of electron cloud growth in each of the principal vacuum chamber types in use in the storage ring. In order to facilitate measurements in chambers with tightly constrained external apertures, retarding field analyzers have been developed that can be deployed in regions with as little as 3mm of available aperture. We report on the design, fabrication, characterization and operation of devices that are presently deployed in CESR drift, dipole, and wiggler chambers. |
