Prototype vacuum chamber for compact SR ring

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7082859
A 650 MeV compact (3.14 m in circumference) superconducting electron storage ring is being developed as a synchrotron radiation light source for X-ray lithography. The vacuum system is designed to maintain a beam-on operating pressure of 1 x 10/sup -9/ Torr or less. This system has unique features. A prototype vacuum chamber has been fabricated and tested for evaluation of the vacuum system. A base pressure of 2.6 x 10/sup 10/ Torr (nitrogen equivalent) has been achieved. The pumping speed of the cryopump built into the chamber has been measured at 12000--17000 1/s for hydrogen gas. These results have confirmed to feasibility of this vacuum system for the SR ring.
