Vacuum Technology for Ion Sources
arXiv:1404.0960 · doi:10.5170/CERN-2013-007.463
Abstract
The basic notions of vacuum technology for ion sources are presented, with emphasis on pressure profile calculation and choice of pumping technique. A Monte Carlo code (Molflow+) for the evaluation of conductances and the vacuum-electrical analogy for the calculation of time-dependent pressure variations are introduced. The specific case of the Linac4 H- source is reviewed.
