Abstract :
We discuss the predicted electron cloud build up in the arcs and the long straight sections of the LHC, and its possible consequences on heat load, beam stability, long-term emittance preservation, and vacuum. Our predictions are based on computer simulations and analytical estimates, parts of which have been benchmarked against experimental observations at the SPS.
