VUV synchrotron radiation studies of candidate LHC vacuum chamber materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the design of future accelerators, in particular, the beam vacuum of the large hadron collider (LHC), a 27 km circumference proton collider to be built at CERN, ‘white light’ (WL) and monochromatic VUV synchrotron radiation (SR) have been used to measure, both qualitatively and quantitatively, electron emission from candidate vacuum chamber materials. Emphasis has been placed on measuring the photoelectron yields (PY) and the energy distribution of the emitted electrons. These parameters are relevant to gas desorption, the LHC cryogenic cooling capacities and the possible creation of an electron cloud which may cause beam instabilities. Proposed materials, prepared on an industrial scale, such as 50 lm OFE Cu co-laminated onto a high Mn-content stainless steel, exhibit significant modifications when exposed to the WL spectrum from the BESSY TGM7 beamline. Surface cleaning treatments, such as sample annealing and ion bombardment, induce substantial changes to the electron emission which therefore indicate that such surfaces would not be constant, in terms of electron emission, during machine operation. Surfaces which are considered to be constant electron emitters, such as annealed TiZr alloys and commercial non-evaporable getters, were also investigated. These results and their implications for the choice of the material to be used for the LHC are discussed. ( 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Measurements 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...

Measuring vacuum ultraviolet radiation-induced damage
During plasma processing of semiconductors, ultraviolet ~UV! and vacuum ultraviolet ~VUV! radiation are present, but their effects can be difficult to separate from those due to charged particles incident on the wafer. The contribution of VUV photon irradiation to gate-oxide damage, and damage to dielectric materials in general, was examined using two measurement techniques that can predict the...

متن کاملPhotoluminescence of a CVD Diamond Excited with VUV Light from a Synchrotron
At the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) beam line of a synchrotron, an end station for photoluminescence (PL) coupled to a system to detect absorption is used to investigate the luminescence and absorption of materials. We analyzed a CVD diamond window in wavelength range 160 250 nm at 300 and 14 K. The PL excited with VUV light enabled an identification of nitrogen defects in diamond samples. The VUV ...
