摘要
The relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC), presently under construction at Brookhaven, has two concentric rings 3.8 km in circumference. There are three distinct vacuum systems in RHIC. The design of these three vacuum systems is presented. The measurement of helium travel within the 480 m cold bore beam tube and the method of locating helium leaks in the long cryostat are also presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
