yesterday (05.06.2024), firstly, the two ion pumps (underneath the fluorescence chamber) were switched off by the vacuum group (Björn Mai, Tel: 3438). Secondly, the two pressure gauges (located near the target) were switched off. The pressure gauge at the fluo chamber is called E02VM3x and the pressure was 5.5e-11 mbar. The other gauge is called IG2 and located further south, it measured 3.7e-11 mbar. That was when ion pumps were still switched on. Since ~10:45 (05.06.2024), the two ion pumps and the two ion gauges are switched off. There was no measurable change in the pressure after switching off the ion pumps. |
