Synchrotron Radiation-Induced Desorption from a NEG-Coated Vacuum Chamber
When the whole inner surface of a vacuum chamber is coated with a non-evaporable getter film, very low static and dynamic pressures are expected after activation.

Sumario: | When the whole inner surface of a vacuum chamber is coated with a non-evaporable getter film, very low static and dynamic pressures are expected after activation. In an accelerator environment this could result in a longer beam lifetime, in a lower risk of pressure bumps, and in a lower level of bremsstrahlung radiation due to the beam-gas interactions. To substantiate these favourable characteristics a Ti-Zr-V coated stainless steel chamber has been tested on a dedicated beamline at the ESRF. It is shown that a large reduction of the synchrotron radiation-induced desorption occurs after activation. |
