Reaching and Measuring XHV ( ï‚£ 10 -12 Torr). - Luminosity for accelerators - Lifetime in storage rings. Reaching XHV is commercially easier than measuring it. A CERN modified Helmer gauge did measure 10 -14 Torr XHV is not official - Pressure ï‚£ 10 -7 Torr are still called UHV.

How DID they make light bulb work ? ♦ Since 1800 the electric arc light was known. However, the life time of a filament made of carbon was poor. ♦ The problem was in obtaining a high enough vacuum in the bulb and getting rid of the oxygen in the residual gas Use of the first Evaporable Getters Bulb Installed in 1901 at the Livermore’s (CA)Fire station. C filament - 4 W Phosphorus pumped lamp tend to have a red cast F. Le Pimpec
Why Measure Total Pressure ? Extractor Partial Pressure gives information on the contents of the vacuum Total pressure can be computed from the partial P measurements Operational in the same range (UHV) The use of hot and cold gauge style device need calibration for every single species for accurate readings – chemistry sensitivity RGA’s electronics are sensitive to the beam passage ! And are still not cheap compared to gauges ! RGA F. Le Pimpec
UHV - XHV Total Pressure • Xray limitation due to the e- hitting the grid : Ions are desorbed from the Collector. Remedies : Modulation • ESD from the gauges elements – Reducing emission current : WrongThe grid will pump then release molecules • Installing a hot gauge in a small tube – Transpiration effectDespite a higher pressure thegauge will read lower. Solution: nude gauges – but sensitivity to stray ions from surroundings Modify Extractor gauge with hidden collector (U. Magdeburg) F. Le Pimpec

Dynamic UHV – NEG solution In accelerator Cu, Al or SS are the technical materials of choice, high conductivity • Cu and SS, can be baked at high temperature, Al cannot (200°C) special design, or ways, to activate a NEG pumping solution • SS and NEG coating have a lower conductivity compared to Cu or Al, wakefield issues skin depth & vacuum chamber size determination • A leak during an activation might lead to scrapping the chamber (2m of Be chamber, vertex detector, for LHC 106 CHF) • Cycles of venting/activation need to be assessed for the lifetime of the machine F.
