Vacuum Quality Monitoring For High Energy Physics

Download Whitepaper
High Energy Physics systems such as linear accelerators, synchrotrons, and tokamak reactors must be operated at very low pressures to ensure the energy imparted to accelerated particles is not dissipated through collisions with residual air molecules. For instance, the primary components of a linear accelerator that are outside of the intersection regions operate at pressures of ca. 10-9 Torr while within intersection regions pressures must be as low as 10-11 Torr. The best way to ensure the quality of the vacuum in HEP equipment is by continuous monitoring of both the vacuum system pressure and the concentration of residual gases in the system using appropriate pressure measurement instrumentation and a residual gas analyzer.
