Abstract
A variable energy compact cyclotron has been installed at the Nuclear Research Centre NRC, Atomic Energy Authority AEA, Egypt. It is equipped to accelerate protons, deuterons, α-particles and 3He. The vacuum system has to provide high vacuum within the 10â6 mbar range in order to accelerate particles and to have stable beam. The total vacuum volume includes the acceleration chamber and the ion beam transport line is â3 m3. The pump-down time of the system to the steady high vacuum is measured. Results on the performance of the forevacuum and the high-vacuum pumps will be presented. The characteristics of the vacuum system components are evaluated.
