16. NSLS – II UHV Vacuum Pumps NEG module/strip/coating (>200 l/s) to be considered for use at Linac (SS), certain IDs (AL), and most dipole (AL) chambers TSP (400 l/s) along with Differential Sputter Ion Diode (>250 l/s) to be considered for use at and between the bending dipole locations Plate-type Distributed IP (300 l/s) with Ti-cathode to be considered for use in the vacuum chamber slot at bending dipole magnet (vs. NEG on $) Star Cell TM (100 l/s) to be considered for use at Linac, RF wave guides, certain IDs, and bent sections at ring (along with NEG) (Assume vacuum pressure in dipole chamber during ring operation is ~10 -9 torr after 100 Amp-hour of beam conditioning)

17. NSLS - II Vacuum Gauges Partial Pressure Monitoring using RGA at location of Ring’s Dipole (one) and its down-beam Cu-absorbers at crotch (one each) Linac (several along the 100-meter straight) Injection System (minimally one) RF Cavities (one each) Insertion Devices (one each) Optical-Diagnostic Sections (minimally one each) Beamline Front End (one, located between the Fast Valve and Safety Shutter) Total Pressure Monitoring using Ion Gauge of Convectron TM – at Turbo Stations (key spot for rough-to-high vacuum sensing) Hot Filaments Nude or glass-shielded IG – along the ring (except ID position) Inverted Magnetron Cold Cathode – ID, mini-gap apparatus, along the ring (vs. NIG)
