The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a third generation synchrotron accelerator which the designed energy will be 3 GeV whereas the current is 500mA. The role of crotch absorber is designed to protect downstream UHV vacuum chamber. It is is the only mask component to absorb large amount of synchrotron radiation (bending magnet) in the storage ring. Crotch absorber is installed from transverse direction of the bending chamber to intercept the power. Two bent OFHC copper tubes are vacuum brazed on the copper mask. A 30 degree groove is machined to face bending magnet fan. The reason is not only to dissipate the heat but also to limit back scattering to the rest of chambers. Top and bottom of the absorber are bolted with beryllium copper springs; they will provide extra support for the absorber after it is installed in the Aluminum chamber. Three thermocouples will be embedded inside of the mask to monitor the temperature gradient. Final prototype of the crotch absorber with thermal analysis, design and machined parts are also presented in this paper.

Aluminum alloy was chosen for vacuum chamber materials and oil-free manufacturing, ozone water cleaning processes were used to obtain ultrahigh vacuum in TPS vacuum system. The storage ring vacuum system is divided into 24 unit cells and there are 6 ionized gauges, 8 ion pumps and 6 gate valves in one cell. An interlock system is designed to monitor and control the vacuum devices to keep ultrahigh vacuum. Because the vacuum chamber is exposed to the high power synchrotron radiation directly, cooling water and temperature statuses on the vacuum chamber are also monitored. The hardware, software and their associated interlock logic will be described.
