Vacuum equipment for High Energy Physics
With our knowledge on equipment behavior in hard radiation or strong magnetic fields we are able to offer solutions matching your needs
Knowing what the world is made of.
High Energy Physics (HEP), also known as particle physics, studies what the world is made of.
From its basic nature to an overall view, so from the smallest particle to the vastness that is space. HEP wants to understand the interactions between these particles.
In many research centers storage rings are joined to accumulate a high beam current and accelerate to higher energies. Highest energies are achieved today at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) ring at CERN in Geneva.
Many storage rings use the Synchrotron light generated in electron storage rings as a brilliant source of Radiation e.g. for material science. While linear accelerators require at least high vacuum pressures, the storage rings need ultra-high vacuum, in very large machines 10-11 mbar or below!
At Leybold, we understand the behavior of the material and equipment in hard radiation and within strong magnetic fields. This is mandatory to generate and maintain the insulation vacuum of very large superconducting magnets and to safeguard the required leak tightness.
