In late 2022 tank 5 of Fermilab’s Drift Tube LINAC (DTL) started experiencing a gradual degradation in vacuum level due to a water-to-vacuum leak on a cooling line that ran internal to the vacuum chamber. The leak was in a difficult to access location and pinpointing and repairing the leak would have resulted in significant operational downtime. A unique method for sealing the leak internally...
The European XFEL is a free electron laser (FEL) facility located in northern Germany. It is a non-profit company, that was built in collaboration with 12 countries and started operation in 2017.
The 3,4 km long underground facility starts at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron) in Hamburg and provides up to 27.000 ultrashort X-ray pulses per second to the experimental hall in Schenefeld...
Residual gas analyzers (RGA) are regarded as essential gas-composition monitoring instrumentation for both high and ultra-high vacuum processes. High Energy Physics vacuum installations often place RGA sensors within ionizing radiation environments, which can degrade semiconductor and other components of their control/analysis modules. Radiation sensitive electronics components can be...
