- This paper introduced laser engineered surface structures (LESS) on metals and first demonstrated their potential for the reduction and ultimately elimination of electron clouds that are currently affecting the performance of particle accelerators, radio frequency waveguides, detectors and satellites. The technology presented in this paper led to the publication and grant of an international patent on Method of, and apparatus for, reducing photoelectron yield and/or secondary electron yield [Patent No. WO2016/207660 A1]. This research also resulted in securing a research grant from STFC and implementation of the LESS technology at CERN [ST/P00086X/1 (October16-December19) with funded value of £534,501].
