The European Spallation Source, under construction in Lund (Sweden), is a neutron source based on a 5 MWatt super-conducting linear accelerator. The ultimate goal of ESS is to be the brightest neutron scattering facility and to enable novel science in many fields, such as biology research, environmental technologies and fundamental physics.
After a brief description of the superconducting Linac, the talk focuses on the vacuum design of the Warm Units that give continuity to the beam line environment between adjoining cryomodules [1]. As the use of N on-Evapoarble Getter and Sputter Ion P ump comb ination pumps is under evaluation, a campaign of measurements on particles generated during operation (activation - regeneration - pumping) by two different models of combination pump has been performed; the results of these tests are discussed. Finally, some insights about particle free installation tooling [2] are presented.
