SAES~® Getters' Technology Preserves UHV Conditions in the Vacuum Chambers of SOLEIL Synchrotron

摘要

IntegraTorr™, SAES'' new Non-Evaporable Getter (NEG) thin film technology for ultra-high vacuum pumping, will be used to coat 110 quadrupole and sextupole vacuum chambers of the SOLEIL synchrotron machine, the dedicated high-luminosity light source under construction at Saint-Aubin in Essonne, south of Paris. Pioneering the development of the getter technology, the SAES~® Getters Group is the world leader in a variety of scientific and industrial applications where stringent vacuum conditions or ultra-high pure gases are required. For 60 years its getter solutions have been supporting innovation in the information display and lamp industries, in technologies spanning from large vacuum power tubes to miniaturized silicon-based micromechanical devices, as well as in vacuum thermal insulation.
