Performance of a Cryogenic Vacuum System (COLDEX) with a LHC Type Beam
نویسنده
چکیده
The cold bore experiment (COLDEX) installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) has been used to study the performance of a vacuum system operating at cryogenic temperatures in the presence of a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) type proton beam. The ~ 2 m long cryostat, which can be cooled below 3 K, is fitted with an actively cooled beam screen which can be temperature-controlled between 5 and 100 K. Molecular desorption and deposited heat load measurements, with or without gas pre-condensation, have been performed. Implications to the LHC design and operation will be discussed.

Pressure and Heat Load in a Lhc Type Cryogenic Vacuum System Subjected to Electron Cloud
The electron cloud is of major concern for most of the storage rings operating with large bunch currents and low bunch spacing. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated at cryogenic temperature will have to face the electron cloud when running with proton beams. For this reason, the first experimental studies related to the electron cloud in a LHC type cryogenic vacuum system have been launched...
متن کاملMeasurements at Epa of Vacuum and Electron-cloud Related Effects
In the LHC, in addition to the molecular photodesorption due to synchrotron radiation, an electron cloud will produce a significant gas load due to electron stimulated desorption. This electron cloud build-up is strongly dependant on the primary photoelectrons, secondary electron production and on the reflectivity of photons and electrons. The dependence of these phenomena on surface properties...

The cold bore experiment (COLDEX), that can be cooled below 3 K, has been fitted with a ~ 2 m long actively cooled beam screen equipped with cryosorber to simulate the LHC Long Straight Section (LSS) beam screens. Effects of both synchrotron radiation at grazing incidence with 194 eV critical energy and gas injections have been studied. Results as a function of temperature, gas species and gas ...
