A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, Schematic Layout Vacuum System of SIS100 Total length of SIS100: m (82% cold, 18% warm) Required vacuum: ~ mbar 6-fold symmetry (six straights and six arcs) 25 warm sections (24x 8.3 m long, 1x 3.3 m) 25 cold sections (6 long arcs (5x 135m 1x 122.6m), 19 short straight, 18x 4.3m, 1x 9.2m) 50 Cold/Warm-Transitions for beam vacuum 50 gate valves

A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, Vacuum Sectorization SIS100 One Superperiod (out of six) Length of superperiod 180.6m (from A to B) 4 warm sections (each about 8.3m long) 4 cold sections (1 long arcs 135m, 3 short straight 4.3m) 8 Cold/Warm-Transitions 8 gate valves one roughing station per short cold section in the straights, six roughing stations in the arc 13 adsorption pumps to provide pumping speed for H 2 and He in the cold sections. No vacuum barriers in isolation vacuum

A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, Cryo Adsorption Pumps  auxiliary pumps are used primarily to lower the partial pressures of H 2 and He  10 cryosorption pumps per arc (each 13 m) and one per short quadrupole doublet in the straight sections  consists of several round cryopanels (i.e. copper disks coated with charcoal (SC2 type; Chemviron) coating by KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany)  panels stacked on a central cooling tube cooled down to T ~ 4.5K

A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, The basics of HOBSON-WELCH model theoretical model for calculating pressure profiles in a cryogenically cooled vacuum tube with wall-pumping and induced external H 2 or He gas loads (e.g. leaks) predicts that a localized H 2 or He gas flux into a sticky cold- bore tube generates a wave-like pressure gradient whose wave- front can be considered as moving cryosorption pump the wave-front propagates rather slowly through the tube wave-front propagation depends on leak rate, gas species, dimensions and surface roughness of the cold- bore tube validity of model was experimentally confirmed in several empirical studies Hobson, J. P.; Welch, K. M.: Time-dependent Helium and Hydrogen Pressure Profiles in a Long, Cryogenically Cooled Tube, Pumped at Periodic Intervals, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 11(4) (1993), 1566

A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, Theoretical Pressure Increase in SIS100 cryogenic arc With assumed outgassing rate of unbaked stainless steel pressure increase is to high!  Solution: bakeout of roughing pumping ports?

A. Kraemer, OLAVIII, July 11th, Questions Is our model applicable? Was the Hobson-Welch model verified for Hydrogen? Are there experimental adsorption isothermes for temperatures 4.2K < T < 20K Is there a model for inhomogeneous temperature distributions along the chamber? How is this problem solved in other labs?
