Installation of beamline including the Sample Chamber - December 2009

In a previous post, I have introduced the concept of the beamline and Sample Chamber. Due to the failure of the orginal RF Window, the accelerator was out of order for at least two month. Due to this long break, we decided to upgrade the beamline and started to install the Sample Chamber into the beamline.

Below, you will find some pictures of the Sample Chamber. Beginning of December the complete chamber was installed.

Viewed from the other side. In the slot of the optical table you can see a large valve in the connection piece to the turbo pump.
