Vacuum

The principal vacuum related activities regard both the Vacuum Processing Laboratory and Installations, including:

• preparation, testing, installation and commissioning of new vacuum chambers
• maintenance of vacuum equipment installed in the accelerators
• provision of a general vacuum service, such as vacuum equipment maintenance and Ultra High Vacuum treatments.

and Vacuum Science and Development:

• monitoring of vacuum performance of the ELETTRA vacuum system
• development of new NEG coated vacuum chambers
• vacuum system design, e.g. for the booster synchrotron project
