We report on measurements of electron cloud (EC) induced tune shifts and emittance growth at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) with comparison to tracking simulation predictions. Experiments were performed with 2.1 GeV positrons in a 30 bunch train with 14 ns bunch spacing and 9 mm bunch length, plus a witness bunch at varying distance from the train to probe the cloud as it decays. Complementary data with an electron beam were obtained to distinguish EC effects from other sources of tune shifts and emittance growth. High resolution electric field maps are computed with EC buildup simulation codes (ECLOUD) in the small region around the beam as the bunch passes through the cloud. These time-sliced field maps are input to a tracking simulation based on a weak-strong model of the interaction of the positron beam (weak) with the electron cloud (strong). Tracking through the full lattice over multiple radiation damping times with electron cloud elements in the dipole and field-free regions predict vertical emittance growth, and tune shifts in agreement with the measurements.

The planned upgrade of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as an X-ray source for CHESS will include an increase in beam energy and decrease in emittance from 100 nm-rad at 5.3 GeV to 30 nm-rad at 6 GeV, increase in beam current from 120 to 200 mA, continuous top-off injection of the single circulating beam, and four new zero dispersion inser- tion straights that can each accommodate a pair of canted undulators. The existing sextant of the storage ring arc that serves as the source for all of the CHESS X-ray beam lines will be reconfigured with 6 double-bend achromats, each consisting of two pairs of horizontally focusing quadrupoles, and a single pair of combined-function gradient bend magnets. The chromaticity will be compensated by the existing sextupoles in the legacy FODO arcs. We describe details of the linear optics, sextupole distributions to maximize dynamic aperture and injection efficiency, and characterization of magnetic field and alignment error tolerance.
