Ultra High Vacuum Systems

The Beam Rig consist of a 40 cm diameter stainless steel chamber, capable of reaching pressures of 10-13 bar and temperatures of ~ 100 K. The main chamber is connected to two lines which control the gas flow and pressure. The experimental level of the chamber is shown in the figure.
