Nine years of carbon coating development for the SPS upgrade: achievements and heritage.

CERN has succeeded in producing carbon coatings that eradicate electron cloud in accelerators without any beam conditioning or in situ heating. Investing about 1 MCHF and dedicating 31 FTE (28 man-years, staff and associate members) in 9 years in the framework of LIU-SPS, CERN has increased: technol...

Sumario:CERN has succeeded in producing carbon coatings that eradicate electron cloud in accelerators without any beam conditioning or in situ heating. Investing about 1 MCHF and dedicating 31 FTE (28 man-years, staff and associate members) in 9 years in the framework of LIU-SPS, CERN has increased: technological competences in thin-film coatings, worldwide visibility in surface characterisation, and capability in electron cloud measurement. Future projects are still benefiting from such an investment.
