- This paper demonstrates a patented engineering solution [Patent No. WO2016/207660 A1] for electron cloud mitigation that is an essential requirement in high-intensity proton circular accelerators. Application of laser engineered surface structures (LESS) on vacuum components allows for simple scalability and mass production. A copper liner with LESS has been manufactured in-house and successfully tested by monitoring the electron cloud current in a dipole magnet of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN during its 2016 run. This work was directly funded by CERN (CA6009460) and contributed to securing a research grant from STFC [ST/P00086X/1 (Octpber16-December19), funded value £534,501].
