looking in the vessel of the FP cavity using a UV lamp shows a lot of dust... more dust than outside the cavity !!!
here is picture where one can see a cleaned zone using a finger (with gloves).
question : where does come from this dust ?
2 possibilities :
- large and small belows which could trap the dust and release it during the pumping process
- ionic pumps could release some clusters when they are working.
we plan to clean as effectively as possible the inner surfaces, to close bellows, make woking ion pumps to check if it released again some dust. |
