We present a summary of the commissioning and performance of the vacuum system of a 500-MeV booster synchrotron recently built at LNLS as part of a new injector for the LNLS light source. The main vacuum parameters of the synchrotron are pressure below 5x10 -7 Pa (lifetime of 1-2 hours), no in-situ baking, no cooling system, and a short recovery time after ventilation. All parts of the system are made of 1mm thick AISI 316L stainless steel. The chambers were pre-baked before installation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
