- This paper casts light upon the underpinning principles of Laser Engineered Surface Structures (LESS) technology for blackening and reduction of secondary electron yield of surfaces outlined in three recent patents [Patent Numbers: WO2016/207660 A1; WO2016/207659 A1; WO 2017/153750 A1]. The insight presented in this paper led to the first fully automated robot-assisted in-situ laser structuring of accelerator vacuum components for electron-cloud mitigation at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) and two STFC research grants [ST/P00086X/1 (October16-December19) and ST/T001887/1 (January20-December24) with funded values of £534,501 and £1,067,148, respectively].
