2. Outline  Introduction  Vacuum in the accelerators  Insulation vacuum  Cold beam vacuum  Beam screen Vacuum  Vacuum for cryogenics  LSS beam vacuum  Challenges

3. Introduction  LHC with a circumference of 26.7 km  SPPC with a circumference of 54.3 km  The basic vacuum requirements - Depend more on beam performance than on size - Dynamic effects dominate when increasing beam energy and intensity  Higher beam energy means larger size - Requires a trade-off between performance and cost - Higher demand on integration and logistics ASEVA, 18 November – Madrid (ES) J.M. Jimenez, CERN Vacuum Group Leader

4. Vacuum in the accelerators-1 Vacuum aims to reduce beam-gas interaction which is responsible for:  Machine performance limitations - Reduction of beam lifetime (nuclear scattering) - Reduction of machine luminosity (multiple coulomb scattering) - Intensity limitation by pressure instabilities (ionization) - Electron (ionization) induced instabilities (beam blow up ) - Magnet quench i.e. transition from the superconducting to the normal state - Heavy gases are the most dangerous  Background to the experiments - Non-captured particles which interact with the detectors - Nuclear cascade generated by the lost particles upstream the detectors ASEVA, 18 November – Madrid (ES) J.M. Jimenez, CERN Vacuum Group Leader

5. Vacuum in the accelerators-2 Beam vacuum pipes are designed to:  Minimize beam impedance and HOM generation  Optimize beam aperture  Intercept heat loads (cryogenic machines ， for LHC) - Synchrotron radiation (0.2 W.m-1 per beam) SPPC-58 W/m/beam - Energy loss by nuclear scattering (30 mW.m-1 per beam) - Image currents (0.2 W.m-1 per beam) - Energy dissipated during the development of electron clouds ★ Intercept most of the heat load, 1 W at 1.9 K requires 1 kW of electricity ASEVA, 18 November – Madrid (ES) J.M. Jimenez, CERN Vacuum Group Leader

6. Insulation vacuum--Cryodipole cross section  Insulation vacuum is a high vacuum between: - Cryomagnet and its cryostat - Inner cold cryogenic lines and the outer envelope of the liquid helium transfer lines Both are wrapped with super insulation layers ASEVA, 18 November – Madrid (ES) J.M. Jimenez, CERN Vacuum Group Leader

7. LHC insulation vacuum--Description  Size and volume: 50 km and 15’000 m 3 -2-3 weeks pumping required - mobile turbomolecular pumps  10 -1 Pa enough to allow for the cool down - Cryopumping by cold surfaces maintains a static vacuum in the 10 -5 Pa range - Low helium cryo-pumping - Leak tightness is a key issue - 250’000 welds, 90’000 made in-situ, 100 km integrated length - 18’000 elastomer joints, 22 km integrated length - 178 turbo-molecular pumps to remove small helium leaks  9 million square metres of multi-layer thermal insulation - Huge outgassing after venting to atmosphere  - Huge amount of water partly trapped by these multi-layers. ASEVA, 18 November – Madrid (ES) J.M. Jimenez, CERN Vacuum Group Leader For SPPC, the circumference is 54.7 Km. It will be a huge challenge for SPPC insulation vacuum.
