In Novosibirsk, equipment has been developed to ensure the stability of ultra-high vacuum - ultra-fast shutters that will be used in the "Siberian Ring Photon Source" (SKIF) accelerator complex. This was reported by the press service of the complex.
This equipment is not inferior to foreign analogues, and even surpasses them in some technical solutions.
If an emergency occurs at the station, the atmosphere enters the front-end, it forms a shock wave that can destroy expensive technological equipment in its path. The accident can lead to a multi-day shutdown of the entire complex until its parameters are restored.
To ensure the functioning of the emergency gate, a unique system of devices was created. A special sensor on a glow discharge instantly detects an increase in pressure in the vacuum chamber through which the beam moves. Electronics respond to this event, and the gate hermetically closes the pipe. The entire process from detecting a malfunction to hermetically sealing off takes less than 15 milliseconds. Previously, only one foreign analogue showed such a response speed.
When the gate is lowered and pressed in thousandths of a second, an impact occurs. Special measures must be taken to extinguish this impact, otherwise the mechanics will gradually collapse. Further, the gate body must be as hermetic as the ultra-high vacuum part of SKIF. Another feature: we have developed reliable electronics protected from ionizing radiation, which distinguishes it from its foreign counterpart.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the SKIF booster synchrotron was successfully launched in Russia.
