Zhang See Also: Publisher's Note and Erratum Received 29 June 2004; published 8 September 2004 Grazing collisions with the stainless steel beam pipes of gold ions, the so-called “halo scraping,” result in large secondary electron emission and surface molecular desorption yields in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Here we estimate electron emission yields as function of incidence angle, we show that desorption rates will follow a similar angular dependence at small angles, and we propose a simple approach to mitigate these effects. ©2004 The American Physical Society
