Developments in the vacuum systems of AGS-RHIC

OSTI ID:10161992
The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) is a synchrotron for the acceleration of protons and heavy ions to tens of GeV/amu for fixed target physics research. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), with the AGS as its injector, allows the collision of heavy ion beams with energies of several hundred GeV/amu. The vacuum systems of the AGS-RHIC complex range from 10{sup {minus}6} Torr in the ion sources to ultrahigh vacuum of low 10{sup {minus}11} Torr in the Booster and RHIC. The status of the machines will be described with emphasis on the following areas: the performance of the Booster ultrahigh vacuum system, the development of non-magnetic vacuum components for the muon storage ring, and progress in the construction of the RHIC vacuum systems.
