The 20 TeV protons of the SSC will emit significant amounts of synchrotron light. This light will desorb gases from the cold beam tube walls of the SSC, giving rise to a density of gas molecules within the cold bore. To predict this density, data have been taken on photodesorption from cold (4.5 K) beam tubes at the VUV electron storage ring at the National Synchrotron Light Source. 8 figs., 3 tabs.
