Routinely used for hydrogen degassing (650°C, 10h) of SPOKE resonators with Ti jacket
Dimensions : Max diameter : 700 mm. Max Length : 1600 mm
T emperature up to 1300°C (1°C – 10 °C per minutes). Homogeneity : +/- 5°C
Vacuum systems
Primary : Dry screw pump + roots
Secondary : cryogenic pump
Vacuum : 5E-7 – 1E-6 mbar Screw pump Roots pump Cryo pump Vacuum Valve RGA
N2 injection valve N2 injection line N2 injection line
Vacuum gauge
Air liquide ALPHAGAZ 2 (>99.9999%) Stainless steel line
(Ethanol rinsed + 150°C baking for > 100h)
Contamination measurement with RGA while injecting at
10-4 mbar in furnace
First infusion test done on Niobium samples (50 um BCP)
exposed directly in furnace (not in Niobium box)
Cycle :
800°C during 2h under vacuum
Cooling down at 160°C under vacuum
160°C during 48h with 2.5e-2 mbar N2
Cooling down to 40°C under vacuum
T emperature
Secondary vacuum gauge Primary vacuum gauge
Compact SIMS from Hidden Analytical available at
IPNO (not TOF-SIMS)
Argon 5 keV at 300 nA
Oxygen 5 keV at 300 nA
Sample analysis with Oxygen :
First nanometer : First minute
First minute After 10 minutes
Dynamic SIMS : Oxygen beam
Dynamic SIMS : Argon beam
Dynamic SIMS : Argon beam
Injection line has been cleaned as possible
Ethanol rinsing + 150°C vacuum baking No significant pollution measured with RGA beside water and
SIMS analysis of Nb samples show that N2 infused samples
Resolution of our SIMS too low to measure N2, C and N profils.
