Vacuum Acceptance Tests for Particle Accelerator Equipment
Abstract
The effective and reliable operation of particle accelerator machines is strongly related to obtaining and keeping the required ultra-high vacuum level. This paper briefly presents some generic requirements to take in consideration for components that need to be installed in a particle accelerator like design constraints, materials choices, chemical cleaning process, outgassing rate, and their possible mitigation. Moreover, it will discuss vacuum acceptance tests put in place in the CERN accelerator complex for both, baked and unbaked system.
