SEBT is the "Super" Energy Beam Transport line connecting the medium-beta superconducting linear accelerator with the experimental hall in the ISAC-II building at TRIUMF. The SEBT vacuum system consists of five independent sub-sections comprised of nine 280 L/s (N) turbo-molecular, 5 dry mechanical pumps, 22 vacuum gauges, and 37 valves. A liquid nitrogen cooled trap and fast valve protect the Linac from pump oil migration and particular matter potentially originating from vacuum disruptions in the Experimental hall equipment. A control system with appropriate interlocks is used for system operation and protection in accordance to protocol.
