Abstract Buildup of electron plasmas in accelerator cavities can cause beam degradation and limit performance in high-intensity circular particle accelerators. This is especially important in machines such as the LHC, and PIP-II, where mitigation techniques such as beam scrubbing in order to decrease the SEY are expensive and time consuming. Modeling of electron cloud buildup and dissipation can provide understanding as to the potential negative effects of electron clouds on beam properties, as well as estimates of the mitigation required to maintain accelerator performance and beam quality as accelerators move to higher intensity configurations. We report here on simulations of electron cloud buildup and dissipation for geometry, beam and magnetic field configurations describing the Recycler at Fermilab. We perform electrostatic simulations in 3D with VSim PIC, including the effects of space charge and secondary electrons. We quantify the expected survival rate of electrons in these conditions, and argue that improvements in reducing the SEY is unlikely to mitigate the electron cloud effects.
