Abstract

In the RHIC 2001 run, an unexpected vacuum pressure rise versus bunch increasing currents was observed in both gold and proton operations. This pressure increase due to molecular desorption is suspected to be induced mainly by electron multipacting, but other causes may coexist, such as ion desorption due to halo scraping. In order to get a reliable diagnostic of the phenomenon electron detectors have been installed along the RHIC ring. In this report we describe results measured by the electron detectors with energy filters during the RHlC 2002/2003 run.
