The ECLOUD 2007 Workshop, held in Daejeon, South Korea, brought together 38 participants, primarily from Asian institutions alongside attendees from the US and Europe. Key discussions focused on long-lived low energy electrons trapped in quadrupole fields and their implications for accelerator physics. Presentations highlighted experimental advancements, challenges in electron cloud behavior, and progress in electron cloud studies. Findings revealed that solenoids decrease cloud density and emphasized the need for improved measurement technologies and conditioning methods in accelerators. Details and talks can be accessed online.

Summary • Progress in electron cloud study, but questions remains • SE model is at the core of problems • Long lived electrons? • Excellent conditioning in lab • Not as good in accelerators • Type of conditioning matters • Still observing electron cloud worldwide • No consistent solution has been discovered
Present MI Installation • Electron detector in MI straight section • Only see clear signal with highest intensities • Requires filtering • Slow signal
Upgrade Plans for Shutdown • Better measurements • New cables for cleaner signal • Add data recorder (computer w/ digitizer) • New ion gauge and extra flanges for more detectors • Experimental possibilities • Add weak solenoid for suppression • Add proof-of-principle clearing electrode • Being designed presently (Alex Chen) • Probably kapton-shrouded stainless
