Abstract

Synchrotron radiation induced neutral gas desorption from samples of different vacuum chamber materials has been measured at the DCI storage ring at LURE, Orsay. In order to study the effect of a surface oxide layer on the desorption rate and its decrease during continued photon exposure (frequently called beam cleaning), a comparison has been made between lightly and heavily oxidized samples of aluminium and steel (Nimonic). The dependence of the desorption rate for hydrogen on the photon dose and on time for the different types of samples supports a model of gas diffusion from near surface layers and from the bulk to the surface. The experimental set-up also permitted the measurement of the photoelectron current from the different samples and hence comparison with electron stimulated neutral gas desorption measurements in the laboratory on identically prepared samples.
