<strong>NEG</strong> pumps: ma<strong>in</strong> (practical) features<br />
• High pump<strong>in</strong>g speed for active gases (especially for hydrogen)<br />
• High capacity (= long life: Front-Ends@Elettra > 12 years)<br />
• Compact size (easy to add <strong>in</strong> an exist<strong>in</strong>g vacuum system)<br />
• Light weight<br />
• Very clean (<strong>NEG</strong> powder ?)<br />
• Vibration-free<br />
• Operation without power consumption (after activation !)<br />
• Operation <strong>in</strong> the presence <strong>of</strong> high magnetic fields<br />
• Reversible pump<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> hydrogen<br />
• Relatively Expensive (<strong>in</strong>itial cost)<br />
