A transparent vacuum window for high-intensity pulsed beams

► A transparent vacuum window for high-intensity pulsed beams has been designed. ► The window must withstand the ▵P = 103 mbar differential pressure. ► The window has to be leak tight. ► The window must withstand the thermal stresses induced by the HiRadMat beam. ► The window must withstand the thermal shock-waves induced by the HiRadMat beam.
