Effective pumping speed of a NEG pump
During the two-hour training, an introduction is given of Monte Carlo methods for vacuum problems. Then a hands-on exercise follows, with the goal to get the effective (local) pumping speed of a NEG cartridge pump connected to an accelerator. To achieve it, the topics are as follows:
- Introduction to the interface and camera controls
- Defining gas source and pump locations
- Calculate effective pumping speed, based on results
- Using the formula editor
- Plotting results: using profiles
- Creating color maps: using textures
- Website, forum and how to continue
