High Energy Physics
In many research centers storage rings are joined to accumulate a high beam current and accelerate to higher energies. Highest energies are achieved today at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) ring at CERN in Geneva.
Many storage rings use the Synchrotron light generated in electron storage rings as a brilliant source of Radiation e.g. for material science. While linear accelerators require at least high vacuum pressures, the storage rings need ultra-high vacuum, in very large machines 10-11 mbar or below!
At Leybold, we understand the behavior of the material and equipment in hard radiation and within strong magnetic fields. This is mandatory to generate and maintain the insulation vacuum of very large superconducting magnets and to safeguard the required leak tightness.
Working alongside the particle accelerator community, UHV Design has been asked to solve a range of specific manipulation challenges.
