This evolutionary trend has required a parallel evolution of the design of their vacuum systems, and the application of cross-disciplinary discoveries in the field of materials, surface treatments, thin-films, pumping technology, and more. This 2 ½ hour tutorial will follow the following program: ▪ Basics of gas dynamics: outgassing, conductance, pumping speed. ▪ Basics of synchrotron radiation (SR), with examples relevant to vacuum design. ▪ SR-induced desorption. ▪ Computational methods for vacuum: a review. ▪ Practical examples of analysis, simulation, and design of key components of light sources. ▪ Summary and conclusions.
