  • Abstract
    A combination of dacron sail cloth and mylar film is used for large vacuum windows in secondary beams at the Bevatron. The dacron cloth provides the structural strength and the mylar film provides the gas barrier. Windows of this type have three principal advantages over plain mylar of equivalent strength: 1. Safer, will not catastrophically fail; 2. Forms square corners; 3. Less dense. This paper discusses the development, testing, and fabrication techniques of several such windows in use.
