The understanding of complex and/or large vacuum systems operating at cryogenic temperatures requires a specific knowledge of the vacuum science at such temperatures. At room temperature, molecules with a low binding energy to a surface are not pumped. However, at cryogenic temperatures, their sojourn time is significantly increased, thanks to the temperature reduction, which allow a "cryopumping". This lecture gives an introduction to the field of cryogenic vacuum, discussing surface desorption, sticking probability, thermal transpiration, adsorption isotherms, vapour pressure of usual gases, industrial surfaces and roughness factors. These aspects are illustrated with the case of the Large Hardon Collider explaining its beam screen and its cryosorber, leaks and beam vacuum system modelling in a cryogenic environment. Finally, operation of cryogenic beam vacuum systems is discussed for LHC and other cryogenic machines.

The vacuum and cryogenics system of the SOXS spectrograph
SOXS(Son Of X-Shooter)是一个由国际财团为ESO NTT望远镜建造的单目标摄谱仪。SOXS基于ESO-VLT的X-Shooter的传统,具有两个平行工作的臂(UV-VIS和NIR),分辨率狭缝积约为4500,能够在整个波段上同时观察从U到H波段的完整光谱范围。SOXS将对各种天文物体进行快速和长期的机会目标请求。SOXS真空和低温控制系统设计用于抽空、冷却和维持UV-VIS检测器和整个NIR光谱仪的工作温度。所选择的设计允许两个臂独立操作。本文介绍了低温真空控制系统的最终设计,其功能和在集成实验室进行的测试。

Cryogenic Ion Trapping Systems with Surface-Electrode Traps
我们提出了两个简单的低温射频离子阱系统,其中低温温度和超高真空压力可以在短短12小时内达到。离子阱在液氦浴低温恒温器或低振动闭合循环低温恒温器中操作。快速的周转时间和缓冲气体冷却的可用性使该系统成为测试表面电极离子阱的理想选择。发现闭合循环低温恒温器的振动振幅低于106nm。我们评估了系统通过加载表面电极离子阱与$^{88}$ Sr $^+$离子使用激光烧蚀,这是兼容的低温环境。使用多普勒冷却,我们观察到小的离子晶体中,光学分辨的离子具有超过2500分钟的捕获寿命。
