AbstractAbstract
[en] In the vacuum system of particle accelerators most injection and extraction equipment, such as bump magnets, inflectors, kickers and septums, is located inside the vacuum system. This equipment is made of various materials with high outgassing rates which becomes the major sources of gases in the vacuum system. This is the case for Brookhaven's AGS ring where the kicker magnets and the extraction septums, due to their size and construction, usually have the highest outgassing, and have been the cause of several major vacuum failures during AGS operation. Several approaches can be taken to reduce the outgassing of these magnets: (1) redesign and construct the new ones using UHV standards and practices, which will be costly and time-consuming; (2) modify the existing magnets, which will increase the radiation exposure to personnel because the beam loss around these magnets is usually high; (3) install special degassing equipment in the existing magnets. The authors have investigated the third approach by testing two types of degassing sources, a UV lamp and an Infrared (IR) radiant heat lamp, in spare AGS kicker magnets and septum magnets. This paper reports their study of the degassing treatment during pumpdowns of two kicker magnets
