From 1980's to 2000's in Japan, electron storage rings had some key issues of their vacuum systems. To overcome two key issues especially, we observed dust trapping phenomena as a key issue, using lead-glass counters at first.1,2 Dust particles collected in beam ducts were analyzed 3 and simulation experiments to trap dust particles were carried out using these collected dust particles.2,4,5 As the results, the mechanism of the phenomena was found clearly and we knew how to prevent these phenomena occurring.6,7 We review and discuss the phenomena using published and unpublished data.

As the other key issue, it was that ionization gauges misread due to radiation-induced currents. 8 A hot-cathode-ionization gauge with correcting electrode was developed and tested in simulation experiments 9,10,11 and in actual radiation environments.12,13 The pressure-measurement error of the developed vacuum gauge was about 20%. We also review and discuss the vacuum gauge and other devices 14 to overcome other issues using latest data.
