Electron Gun Group Vacuum
EGG main page

Photo-Electron guns require vacuum at the lowest limits of the Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) range, below 1x10-11 Torr, in order to maximize quantum efficiency and cathode lifetime.   The vacuum levels required for the electron gun exceed the requirements of any other portion of the CEBAF accelerator.

Extensive research has been performed within the Electron Gun Group to produce this UHV environment.  This research includes:

  • Bake temperature vs. ultimate pressure studies
  • Material Outgassing rate studies
  • Material coating studies
  • Neg materal selection and geometry studies
  • Ion pump ultimate pressure studies
