  The High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) is part of the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI Darmstadt. Forschungszentrum Jülich (IKP and ZEA-1) is responsible for the design and installation of the HESR. The HESR is designed for antiprotons and heavy ion experiments as well. Therefore the vacuum is required to be 10-11 mbar or better. To achieve this extreme high vacuum (XHV), NEG coated chambers will be used in combination with common vacuum pumps to reach the needed pumping speed and capacity everywhere in the accelerator ring. For activation of the NEG material a bake-out system will be developed and installed. A bake-out test bench was used for checking the achievable end pressure and developing the bake-out system for the NEG coated chambers of the HESR. The results of the tests and the bake-out concept including the layout of the control system are presented. In addition, the temperature distribution of the dedicated heater jackets inside the dipole and quadrupole magnets are shown.

  The Research Center Jülich is leading a consortium being responsible for the design and manufacturing of the High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) which is part of the FAIR project in Darmstadt, Germany. The HESR is designed for antiprotons within a momentum range of 1.5-15 GeV/c but can also be used for heavy ion experiments. Therefore the vacuum quality is expected to be 10-11 mbar or better which is a great challenge on the overall vacuum layout as well as on the surface quality of the chambers and beam tubes. Whereas all bent dipole chambers are installed, the manufacturing of the pumping bodies with integrated RF meshes as well as several diagnostic chambers are in the focus of investigation. To validate the intended pumping concept of both the bake-out arc sections and the non-bakable straight sections, final tests at the operational test benches are planned. In parallel, the purchasing of valves and first pumps will be prepared. The actual layout of the HESR vacuum system and its components will be presented as well as the progress of manufacturing of several vacuum chambers. The latest experimental test results will be presented also.
