The ultra high vacuum system of the AGS Booster

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6233683
The AGS Booster currently under construction at Brookhaven is a synchrotron for the acceleration of both protons and heavy ions. The design pressure of 3 /times/ 10/sup /minus/11/ Torr is required to minimize beam loss of the partially stripped heavy ions. This paper described the design and processing of the ultra high vacuum system, and the performance of the prototype vacuum half cells. 9 refs., 4 figs.
