Abstract At the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) experiments have been studying the interaction of the electron cloud (EC) with 2.1 GeV stored electron and positron beams. These experiments are intended to characterize the dependence of beam–EC interactions on various beam parameters, such as bunch spacing and vertical chromaticity. Most experiments were performed with 30 or 45-bunch trains, at a fixed current of 0.75 mA/bunch. Earlier experiments with positrons had varied the bunch spacing between 4 and 56 ns at three different vertical chromaticity settings. More recent measurements have included electron-bunch trains to contrast the build up of EC between electron and positron beams. The dynamics of the stored beam was quantified using: a gated Beam Position Monitor (BPM) and spectrum analyzer to measure the frequency spectrum of bunches in the trains; an x-ray beam size monitor to record the bunch-by-bunch, turn-by-turn vertical size of each bunch within the trains. We report on recent ob-servations from these experiments and additional studies, using witness bunches trailing 30 or 45-bunch positron trains, which were used for the generation of the ECs.
