Intense ion beams in the Brookhaven Relativistic Ion Collider lead to a rise in the vacuum pressure. Electron clouds can contribute to such a process. To measure electron cloud densities the coherent tune shift along the bunch train was observed with different bunch spacings and intensities. From the measured coherent tune shifts, electron cloud densities are computed and compared with densities obtained in electron cloud simulations.
