Abstract :
Brookhaven is undertaking the design, construction and commissioning of the accumulator ring and the beam transport lines for the 1-GeV Spallation Neutron Source. The operating pressure of the accumulator ring vacuum system will be 10-9 Torr and is needed to minimize the beam-residual gas ionization. The vacuum requirement, the layout of the ring vacuum system, and the design of the vacuum chambers, vacuum pumps and other hardware are presented here
