Description

Outgassing measurements are often performed by vacuum specialists and physicists when designing new accelerator equipment and experiments in storage rings etc. Such measurements are, however, rather seldom published. It would be an advantage for the vacuum community if such results could be made available for the general public by creating a database. As an example, we could not find relevant data of materials for a complex particle detector system installed in the UHV system of a cluster-jet target in the CELSIUS storage ring in Uppsala. We have therefore measured outgassing from various materials such as multi-layer ceramic printed-circuit boards, flexible printed-circuit boards, electrical insulators, conductive and non-conductive glue, Kapton-insulated single conductor cables and Kapton-insulated coaxial cables
