Abstract :
The MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator Center is now in the commissioning stage for the new South Hall Ring (SHR). The SHR is a 1 GeV electron storage/stretcher ring with a 190 meter circumference and is designed for circulating beams of 80 mA. The SHR vacuum system was completed in January 1993 with commissioning starting in February. This paper describes the design of the vacuum system, hardware developed and operational performance during commissioning
