Abstract

Vacuum systems of particle accelerators have to account for various boundary conditions. The main requirement is keeping a specified pressure for the machine during operation with changing synchrotron radiation load on the surface and varying temperatures. Other effects like the beam-wall interaction due to wakefields, the avoidance of particle transport to protect sensitive surfaces and cost have to be considered as well. The design of the vacuum systems results in several challenges ranging from the mechanical design, surface physics, and materials science to process engineering.
