One of the main sources of electrons in the Spallation Neutron Source’s Accumulator Ring is the stripped electrons in the injection region. A magnetic field guides the stripped electrons to the bottom of the beam pipe, where an electron catcher with overhanging surface traps them. This paper describes the stripped electrons’ motion, the optimization of the catcher, and the build up of an electron cloud in this region.
