IP chamber and monitor 6 March 2003 T. Tsuboyama
Status of IP chamber for SVD1.6 • Maximum beam current ~ 2400 mA • Maximum temperature 51 oC (close to backward flange) • Beryllium temperature with respect to the adjacent aluminum temperature ~ 5.1 oC • These temperature rise may be within tolerance of the chamber. • KEKB people is struggling at this beam current. Higher current will not be beneficial to get higher luminosity for a while.
Possible cause of the vacuum leak • Heat stress seems not the main reason. • Observation of BeO and Al2O3 powder on the beryllium chamber suggests existence of water in the helium gas. • Atmosphere oxygen is not harmful (Outer surface is healthy) • Dew point was > -10oC • Vapor water can corrode Be and Al directly in radiation environment. • We did not care about the contaminations in the gas. • Fortunately, dangerous elements, F, Cl, S was not observed in the gas. • Charcoal and silica-gel filters were installed since February in order to purify the heilum gas.
Monitors for SVD2 The installation was successful in general. (*1) Installed at slightly different position from design due to clearance problem. (*2) One hybrid cable came off after the ladder mount.
