Abstract

Components made of carbon fiber composite material (CFCM) with epoxy or BMI matrix were designed for various applications such as vacuum tubes, vertex chambers, or support structures. The outstanding properties of CFCM which in many aspects are superior to metal structures especially qualify CFCM components for use in the collision sections of particle accelerators. A total of some 50 m of CFCM beam-tubes and of around 20 different CFCM structures and support elements of various configurations were produced following the specific needs and requirements of high-energy particle physics at several research institutes.<>
