Extending beyond the coverage found in standard works on vacuum science and technology, the content here is specifically tailored to the requirements of high-tech particle accelerator vacuum chambers. To this end, the book provides a detailed overview of ultra-high vacuum systems used in charge particle accelerators with a focus on design and modelling.
Following a recapitulation of the various vacuum requirements, the text goes on to identify sources of gas in the vacuum chambers and methods for their removal before dealing with the control of the beam itself and the beam aperture. Latter sections focus on the modelling approaches for vacuum chambers under different operating conditions.
As an aid to identifying sources of errors and avoiding expensive reconfigurations, this is invaluable reading for users and developers of particle accelerators.
