Issue of Maintaining the Clean Vacuum Space (a.k.a. Protection from the ATLAS Users) 8 80 Kelvin ~1/2 meter long liquid nitrogen cooled cold traps installed at the entrance and exit for clean cryomodules Volatiles, water, particulates adsorb to the surface of a 2.5” cm diameter copper tube Gate valves at the entrance and exit of the cryomodule are interlocked to cold trap ion gauges A fast acting valve (~10 mS) will isolate experimental areas from the accelerator in the event of a vacuum accident Cold trap Fast Valve RGA Cryomodule exit valve
The First Beam Delivered with the 72 MHz Intensity Upgrade Cryomodule 9 First beam to experiment 20 Ne 6+ on Feb. 18, 2014 (Ave. Cavity Voltage 2 MV/cavity, Ave. Power per Cavity 1.3 Watts) Also of note, all cavities stable with respect to quench with E ACC >12 MV/m, average value for field emission onset, E ACC ~9 MV/m (E PEAK ~45 MV/m)
Testing at Liquid Helium Temperatures: Q versus E (Most Commonly Used Figure of Merit) 10 Present Operations 2.5 MV/cavity
