Description/Abstract | Construction details and results of on-going performance tests are presented for two ultra-high vacuum compatible, free-convection cooled window assemblies in which the window disk is easily replaceable. In the Be window assembly, an 0.25 mm thick Be disk, 38 mm in diameter is sealed into a stainless steel adapter flange using 0.5 mm diameter pure Al wire. The assembly is leak tight to better than 1 x 10/sup -10/ atm cm/sup 3//sec before and after multiple bakeouts to 250/sup 0/C. However, an unexplained temperature-dependent He leak, with a maximum magnitude in the low 10/sup -10/ atm cm/sup 3//sec range at 250/sup 0/C, appears during bakeout. Possible causes for this leak are discussed. In the Al window assembly, a 25 ..mu..m thick Al disc, 60 mm in diameter acts as the sealing medium as well as the window material over a 10 mm by 50 mm opening. This assembly remains leak tight to better than 1 x 10/sup -10/ atm cm/sup 3//sec throughout multiple bakeouts to 150/sup 0/C and has been successfully tested in white and monochromatic beam lines at the NSLS x-ray ring. 25 refs. |
