Abstract :
A cryogenically cooled liner has been installed within the Bevatron to achieve 10-10 Torr vacuum. Features and performance of this liner are described including achieved pressures, residual gas composition, cryo heat loads, leak rates through moving and static seals, and cool-down and warm-up times.
