Funding: Work performed under the auspices of U.S. Department of Energy, under contract DE-AC02-98CH10886 National Synchrotron Light Source II is a 3-GeV, 792-meter circumference, high-flux and high-brightness synchrotron radiation facility being constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The storage ring vacuum chambers are made of extruded aluminium and the bending magnet photons are intercepted at discrete photon absorbers. The design of the storage ring vacuum system will be presented, with emphasis on vacuum chamber design and fabrication, pumping arrangements, photon beam tracking and absorber positioning, and interface with other accelerator systems. The evaluation of the aluminium chamber prototypes and RF shielded bellows will also be described. |
