The vacuum system of CELLS is in the installation stage. The booster vacuum chambers have been assembled and baked out in a provisional laboratory ex-situ in the ALBA building and in less than two months (starting from February) all the booster vacuum system was installed inside the tunnel and under vacuum. All the storage ring vacuum chambers have been delivered and ready for installation, several chambers were tested at CELLS (tests include vacuum tests, dimensional check, magnetic permeability tests…etc). All the tools needed for the assembly of the storage ring vacuum chambers have been delivered and tested at CELLS to validate the assembly procedure. Concerning the standard vacuum components; all the gauges and residual gas analyzers were delivered, all the ion pumps and controllers are at CELLS, the NEG pumps, leak detectors, roughing stations and the UHV valves were delivered too.
