The pressure profile in the Lund Pelletron accelerator with the newly installed terminal pumping in use

Persson, Per LU ; Hellborg, Ragnar LU ; Kiisk, Madis LU ; Skog, G and Stenström, Kristina LU (2003) In Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment 500(1-3). p.55-61
Abstract
Terminal pumping has recently been installed in the Lund tandem Pelletron electrostatic accelerator. The equipment allows a higher gas density in the stripper and an improved vacuum in the accelerator tubes compared to the former system. This improvement has led to an increased beam transmission and to superior measurements for our accelerator mass spectrometry programme. The pressure profile of the stripper system as well as of the accelerator tubes has been calculated using kinetic gas theory. The result will be used to identify possible technical improvements in the future. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
