Abstract

SummaryClear Path for the Smallest Particles – Vacuum challenges at linear accelerators and transfer linesThe need for radiation‐resistant products is often considered in vacuum applications on particle accelerators. This is particularly true for synchrotrons, but also for other accellarator types, at many positions in the system. The demands on vacuum technology products installed at non‐radiation‐exposed positions, such as transfer lines, are equally high. When chambers, components and pumps are considered holistically, cleanliness, absence of hydrocarbons and high mechanical accuracy are particularly important. This interplay in the large European accelerator GANIL highlights challenges as well as their solutions.
