Hi oxodoes,

thanks for the links.
Pretty cool stuff these vacuumwindows.

Hi Pcatom,

thank you for the explanation.

I guess when the valves are opened for a beam dump,
it causes a significant pressure wave in the dump line.

Hi, i was wondering if the vacuum is the same everywhere in the accelerator complex from Linac to LHC. If not, how are the several accelerators separated and how does it work during beam transfer from Linac -> PSB .... -> LHC. I guess they use something more sophisticated than simple valves. tia Unica

I've been following this fantastic forum for sometime now.
Nothing much to contribute though, i'm far from a scientist
but i'm fascinated by the things going on at Cern.

Go and smash 'em
