  Recently, the type-2 and type-3 TPS cells are installed and pumped down into vacuum status. The pumping down curves of the type-2 and type-3cells, including R03, R06, R07, R10, and R11, are recorded after on-site welding and after assembling without leakage, individually. In the R03, R06, R07, R10 cells, the pumping down curve after assembling without leakage is a little higher than that after on-site welding. In those four cells, the pumping down curve after assembling all vacuum components and pumps is similar. However, in the R11 cell, it was found that the pumping down curve after assembling without leakage is almost along that of after on-site welding. The slope of pumping down curve near 1 hour in the R11 cell is -1.52, while that in the R10 cell is -1.39. It means that the vacuum pressure in the R11 cell is apparently improved. It is confirmed that the vacuum chambers are cleaned by the same process and the assembling components are similar. Besides, the photon stopper chambers are all pre-baked to 200 oC for the same time. We try to investigate the residual gas analysis (RGA) data to find the true reasons.

  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), a 3 GeV synchrotron light source, provides an ultra-low emittance of electron beam and the consequent extremely high brightness of photons. The vacuum pressure along the beam duct should be ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and even lower for reduction of the impact to the beam from the gas scattering or ion trapping troubles. Most of the outgas comes from the photon stimulated desorption (PSD) back streaming from downstream absorbers during beam operation and large area surface outgas inside the beam duct as well. Due to the anticipate request of the smallest vertical aperture of beam ducts from various insertion devices and the lowest broadband impedance through all the vacuum chambers of electron storage ring, the inner structure design and the surface treatment of vacuum chambers as well as the constraint of the back stream PSD outgas from distributed absorbers and the pumping locations should be optimized to obtain a high quality UHV system for the high stable synchrotron light source through the long period of operation. The optimized design of the vacuum chambers for the TPS will be described.
