Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for preventing the contamination of sensitive accelerator surfaces and preventing deterioration of the accelerator field emission in a linear accelerator. The method includes providing a nanofilter at the inlet of the getter ion pumps connected to the beam line of the linear accelerator. The method includes providing a break in the inlet line, inserting a conflat flange at the break, and sandwiching the nanofilter between the two halves of the conflat flange. The nanofilter includes a maximum pore size of 3 nanometers, thereby preventing contaminants greater than 3 nanometers from flowing from the getter ion pump back to the accelerator system.
