<strong>NEG</strong> pump activation efficiency curves<br />

CAS May 17-23, 2006<br />

(GP Series)<br />

SIP+<strong>NEG</strong><br />

<strong>NEG</strong> activation (an example):<br />

1) pump the vacuum system down<br />

(turbomolecular pump, vac. valve open)<br />

2) bake the vacuum system<br />

24 h @ 150 °C<br />

3) hold the temp. @ 100 °C<br />

4) “degas” ion pumps (switch them on–<strong>of</strong>f<br />

3-4 times, until the pressure decrese)<br />

5) switch all the pressure gauges <strong>of</strong>f<br />

6) activate <strong>NEG</strong>s<br />

1 h @ 430 °C<br />

7) “degas” filaments<br />

8) switch ion pumps <strong>and</strong> press. gauges on<br />

9) cool the vac. sys. down to room temp.<br />

10) close the valves connect<strong>in</strong>g the turbos to<br />

the vacuum system<br />
