ULTRA HIGH VACUUM SPUTTER ION PUMPS DEVELOPED AT CAT |
 |
In order to construct such
accelerators, one requires many frontline technologies. These include ultra
high vacuum technology, magnet technology, high power precision power supplies,
control electronics, etc. The centre
has taken up development of most of these technologies.
Most of the ultra high vacuum hardware required for Indus-1, Indus-2, linac,
beamlines, etc. are developed in-house.
These components include sputter ion pumps of capacities ranging from 35
l/sec to 500 l/sec, turbo molecular pumps, titanium sublimation pumps, fast
acting valves, gate valves and gauges.
All UHV components are chemically cleaned
and electro polished in a chemical treatment facility set up at the centre.
