Flanges and bellows will be put at each end of long straight sections and around RF
cavities.
If flat flanges are used it is possible to make a final machining after welding to adjust length
and angle of the chambers.
The building and installation of vacuum chambers will be done in steps:
1. For the first beam tests only circular ID22 tubes will be installed in the straight
sections with a few beam exit ports at long straights.
2. Beam lines will be added as insertion devices are installed in the 19 long straights.
Reference labels for machine parts (e.g. 301M1.BPMW1) are used in this document
following the convention;
http://www.maxlab.lu.se/local/maxiv_reports/accelerators_machine/General_description
/MAX_IV_Naming_Convention_100426.pdf
The naming document will be updated whenever new components are defined.
Length of straight sections for insertion devices 4.8 m; including bellows and gate valves at both ends
Red: E-beam
All magnets are made in an upper and a lower part. For installation or baking of the
vacuum chambers the upper parts may be lifted off and the lower parts moved downwards
by 20mm.
The expansion of 3mm/m during baking will cause too high stresses in the chambers. We
study the approach to lift the magnet section chambers to be baked separated from the rest
of the system. The baking system is described in section 2.8.8.1. See also the bellows
paragraph 2.8.2.2.2. and the thermal expansion paragraph 2.8.8.2.

• between the gate valves and the long straight sections

With the shown dimensions the distance M6-hole to button hole is about 1.5mm.
The button surface will have the same radius as the chamber; 11mm.
The rod for signal and fixation of the button in the feedtrough will be covered with an
insulator also used for stiffening of the assembly.
2.8.2.2.3. Flanges
Different types used in synchrotrons: ConFlat (CF) or flat (VATSEAL: “at the same time a
reliable, low resistance RF contact”) KEK has developed another system (MO-type) were
also non circular shapes are possible.
a: modified CF b: MO
c: Modified MAX II CF Connections between the chambers will likely be made with standard CF40 flanges brazed to
a copper ring. A thin lip will be prepared in the ring for welding to the 22/24mm tube (in red)
as indicated. An automated welding procedure should be setup to ensure the quality.
CU: Copper ring brazed to the ConFlat flange.
SS: ConFlat flange 12.7mm thick, OD 70mm, ID 38.2/35mm.
Bolt: Opening for M6 (35mm long bolts).
Seal: ConFlat copper seal.
Standard dimensions; 2 x 37 x 48.2mm.
Modification of the seal with the opening matching the chamber aperture simplifies
the adaption of valves and other CF components.
2.8.2.2.4. Valves
About 60 RF-shielded CF40 gate valves (VAT Series 47 or similar) will be used in the ring.
An option is the VAT/KEK version with a shield.
About 40 gate valves for beam lines and injection will be without RF-shield.

The aperture of the valve should be modified to 22mm ID. At the exit of the injection septum a special aperture
is needed as the injected beam position is 13.5 mm from the nominal beam path. See

22/24mm. See the end of Table 7. At the beam exits the vacuum chambers are somewhat
wider; at a diagnostic port (after uc5) the correction magnet needs to be wider. Higher
frequency magnets will need stainless or ceramic chambers.
Chambers in dipole magnets will need to be stabilized in order to keep the correct bending
radius after baking. At MAX II we have seen what we understand as stress relief of the
bent copper tube making the radius larger.

Side view from the inside of the ring. Upper yoke and dipole are removed.
The aperture in oyy is limited vertically to ±2mm and horizontally to 5mm on the left hand side.
Corresponding angles: 2/4.2 =0.47mrad, 5/4.2 = 1.2mrad.
The narrow vacuum chamber will act as a baffle for the radiation as indicated in the graphs
below. A recommendation from ESRF for distributed absorbers is to have a linear power
density below 20W/mm (ESRF Thermal absorbers…, MEDSI02).
Nominal size of the beam pipe is 22mm ID. At the chamber crotch the pipe is enlarged to
reduce the power density on the walls. The beam aperture is limited at the elements oyy,
sdend, and sd.
The crotch between the two beam pipes is shadowed from the insertion device radiation by
the curvature of the dipole chamber.
For the elements in front of the crotch the synchrotron light passes through the opening in
the median plane as indicated by the red arrows in Figure 5. See also the sketches at the
end of Table 7.
The dotted orange arrow shows radiation at 0.2kW/m source power from the beginning of
the magnet that might be used during the start up of the system. See § 2.8.4.

For wigD:
For scw46 the power load is higher and the photon fan is wider than this; see Table 7.
Synchrotron Radiation
The power from synchrotron radiation has a maximum of 1.57kW/m electron path.
The power is radiated vertically inside ±0.125 mrad.
Maximum power density is on the chamber crotch with about 23W/mm (170W total).
On the walls parallel to the beam the maximum power density is 1.6W/mm.
Table 6 show the estimated power as seen by the vacuum chamber, using the formulas in
§2.8.9 for the red rays in Figure 5: Horizontal vacuum chamber layout with beam power
distribution from wigD.
Table 7 shows the photon beam position and size relative to the magnets at the entrance
and exit of the elements.

The absorber is positioned to give the same distance from the source of radiation along the

The crotch is protected by the absorber and need no special cooling. Heat from an ID
might fall on the chamber surface in front of the sextupole at about 7m. The crotch

When the NEG coating is activated the RGA and pressure readings will only “see” the
local conditions at the measuring point as the distributed pumping speed is quite high for
most gases.
The quality of interest is not the total (nitrogen equivalent) pressure as such but the gas
induced losses. The loss is a function of the mass of the gas molecule.
(Anders Hansson and Magnus Lundin are measuring gamma radiation from conventional
and NEG chambers in MAX II.)
2.8.4. Installation
First installation will be made without insertion devices and with circular 22mm NEG-
coated vacuum chambers in the straight sections.
Straight forward ports with windows will be used in order to look at some synchrotron
radiation from the bend magnet. See the dotted arrow in Figure 5 where the emitted power
in the small opening angle in the beam pipe will be in the order of 20W (at 500mA).
Insertion Devices will successively be installed when the system is tested with beam.
NEG-coated chambers are to be activated prior to installation and then backfilled with
nitrogen, sealed off, and protected.
NEG-coating may be made in lengths up to 6 m.
Longer chambers may be welded after coating. E.g. 10 m long aluminum chambers for
Soleil are coated in 5m lengths.

Vacuum pressure is calculated for one magnet cell with closed gate valves 5cm into the
long straight sections.
The calculated section contains one beam port and one RF cavity. A small SIP (40CF) is
positioned close to the beam port and a larger (160CF) on the cavity. The inside of the
cavity is not NEG coated, nor the beam pipe. The pump speed for the SIP on the cavity is
reduced by a screen with 50% opening.
For roughing and during the baking of the chambers the turbo pump at the center of the
cell is connected through a 25cm long 40mm flexible tube.

The desorption rate from the surfaces hit by the photons from the wiggler is estimated to be
the same as from the synchrotron radiation (scaled with kW)
Local sputter ion pumps connected to the vacuum chamber will not lower the maximum pressure at 4m as
the conductance is low. Added pumping at 5-5.5m might reduce the peak at 5m.
NOTE:
• Conductance is calculated for mass 28 (N2 or CO); 3.7 times lower than for
molecular hydrogen (H2) but the calculated pressure profile will only be
marginally changed as the pumping speed of the NEG coating is large.
Figure 14: Desorption yields measured on a NEG coated stainless steel chamber at CERN.
[P. Chiggiato, R. Kersevan / Vacuum 60 (2001) 67-72] Desorption yields for NEG coated chambers before
and after activation.
By scaling the maximum pressure found in Figure 12 with desorption rate as a function of
dose we get the two beam conditioning cases in Table 14.
Beam lifetime is scaled from 6 minutes for 10-6mbar (ME).
In chapter 2..10 Beam Lifetime the lifetime is calculated for a constant pressure
of 2 10-9mbar.
Elastic 25.4hrs; inelastic 56.1hrs; resulting total lifetime 17.2hrs.
This corresponds to 2 minutes at 10-6mbar which is the maximum pressure allowed in the
calculations in Table 14.
6 minutes is used as the lifetime calculations are scaled with the maximum pressures while
chapter 2.10 is calculated for a constant pressure in the ring.
(The ratio maximum to average pressure is 2.7/1 in Figure 12).
The calculation is done for a coasting beam with no insertion devices.

Erik Wallén got the information about how to vent NEG coated vacuum systems from
Vincent Baglin at CERN (Vincent.Baglin@cern.ch). Vincent plans to report about this
venting technique at a future vacuum conference.
Equipment:
• Argon gas in bottle
• SAES Getter pump (model not reported yet)
• Venting valves and tubes
• Baking heat strips
NEG coated vacuum systems have a tendency of being large and it may be very difficult to reactivate the
NEG coating after the system has been vented due to some minor work like replacing a valve.
It is possible to vent NEG coated system without having to reactivate the NEG coating by doing the
venting with Argon gas that has passed through a well baked getter pump.
The Argon gas pressure in the NEG coated vacuum system should be slightly above atmospheric pressure
when opening the vacuum system so that Argon is flowing out when doing the repair work on the vacuum
system.
Note that argon is heavier than air and will flow like water out of a filled volume.
Most of the argon will be evacuated by the turbo pump system prior to starting the Sputter Ion Pumps.
2.8.8. Conditioning/Performance
2.8.8.1. Baking System
2.8.8.1.1. General
Vacuum system must be baked at 180°C for 24 hours for the activation of the NEG. Some
synchrotron laboratories are using thin (<1mm thick) Kapton insulated heater films for in
situ baking (Soleil). Other laboratories use pre-baking in ovens for large sections of the
rings (ALBA, SLS, ASP) with final conditioning of the vacuum system with beam.
More pictures showing the handling of chambers during baking and assembly is shown in:
http://www.fmb-berlin.de/start.php?lang=2&node=30306&lnode=103&mh=0&e
The same website has also similar pages for SLS and other laboratories with interesting
pictures of vacuum chambers and other components.
This approach allows a free expansion of the vacuum chambers without bellows in the
cells. Also the heater system is simplified as no individual heater elements directly on the
chambers and BPM houses are needed.

Distances in cm.
The stresses in a 300mm long 24x1mm copper tube with fixed ends have been calculated
with Comsol Multiphysics. When heated from 20oC to 200oC the von Mises Stress is
400MPa along the tube and about 700MPa at the ends. The higher value could be a result
of the meshing.
The yield strength of OFC is about 40-120MPa annealed and 180-420MPa for cold
worked.
The calculated stresses are too high. A test with a 300mm resulted in cracked welds
between the flange disc and the tube. Modified weld geometry and e-beam welding will
improve the strength and quality. Still the strength will be too low and the baking scheme is
altered where the magnet sections are baked when lifted out of the magnets and then only
perform beam conditioning in situ, reducing the need for bellows. See § 2.8.2.1, §2.8.2.2.3,
and §2.8.8.1. - 2.8.8.2.
Behavior of the straight sections will need a separate review for each type of elements.
Example Injection septum magnet with the centre point fixed:
• The iron ends will move about 1.3mm
• The stainless steel chamber about 1.6mm
• The rest of the straight section (if copper) about 11mm
The result is need for bellows for 14mm compression before the septum magnet and 2mm
after the septum chamber. A set of bellows (±3mm from nominal length) incorporated in
the beam exit port of the chamber will facilitate assembly and baking of the section.

During baking of the straight sections cooling of the ends of connected magnet sections is
needed. Pressure relief valves will be used to prevent the circuits from excess pressure.
2.8.10. Remarks/Questions
• Vibrations
SPring-8 reports about beam position fluctuations caused by vibrations from water cooling
(S. Matsui, et al.; Jpn. J. Appl. Phys.; Vol. 42 (2003) pp.L338).
• Corrosion
At SPring-8; an absorber at a RF section leaked cooling water. There is a possibility that
synchrotron radiation, water, and dissolved oxygen corroded Cu.
