And why not Beryllium? Brittle
High cost (several 100 000 Chf/m)
Toxic vapours when machined
Long deliveries
Limited number of suppliers

Why do we want carbon material?
Material Youngs modulus[GPa]
Radiation Length [cm]
( Y-Modul)* Rad. Length [3Pa*cm]
Steel 200 1.7 1.0*104
Titanum 116 3.5 1.7*104
Aluminium 70 8.9 3.6*104
Carbon-Carbon 60 to 120 18.8 8.7*104(for 100 GPa)Carbon-Epoxi 100 to 250 18.8 11*104(for 200 GPa)
Beryllium 287 35.3 23*104
Nothing better than Beryllium…
… but carbon fibre composite is also attractive

Carbon Fibre Tube (1)Carbon fibres are about 0.005
to 0.01 mm thick
Several thousand fibres twisted together make a yarn
Make a fabric out of the yarn
Wind the fabric or yarn around a mandrol (tube) in any angle between 0° and 90°

Carbon Fibre Tube (2)Add filler material
Epoxy Epoxy, tar, …
Cure in an autoclave at 150 °C to 230 °C
Cure at 2000 °C
Carbon-Epoxy tube
High Youngs modulus (200 GPa)Max. bakeout temperature 230 °COutgassing not vacuum compatible
Carbon-Carbon tube
Good Young modulus (100 GPa)Max. bakeout temperature no issueOutgassing vacuum compatible

How to get a carbon beam pipe leak tight with high transparency?
CERNEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH
Gerhard Schneider 1514 October 2011
HistoryComposite Tube developments at CERN in the 80’s
Carbon – Epoxi tube was installed in LEP experiment
Total Thickness 1.24 mmDiameter 106 mmInternal aluminium liner of 0.1 mm
Enventually failed, since the aluminium delaminated from the carbon structure

Vacuum Barrier InsideGlue aluminium liner to carbon composite tube
Looking into companies interested in the supplyLooking into options to increase the resin temperature stability. Current options are epoxy, polyimide, cyanite-esterQuotation exists (QinetiQ) for vapour deposition on carbon composite samples to test leak tightness
ChemicalCopper layer on carbon by electroplatingTest made: Not 100 % surface coverage due to « rough » surface of the windings. Corrosion due to plating bath coming out from the matrix after the coating

Vacuum Barrier Outside (1)Status
Outgassing tests were made on a SGL Carbon Sigrabond Tube of type 2001 G diameter 104/100 mm inside a 300 mm long Titanium Grade 2 tube 0.3 mm thick with Titanium 5 Conflat flanges.
Result: The outgassing rate is about 1x10E-12 mbar.l/(s.cm 2)
Test temperature: 250 °C
No leaks of the titanium conflat to stainless steel conflat found up to 250 °C

Beam ImpedanceBenoit Salvant BE/ABP is working on the subject.
5 micron of aluminium coating inside the carbon tube seems to be sufficient

“Exotic Solutions”Carbon fibre aluminium composite
Exists, but only in small dimesions. Trying to find manufacturers
Honeycomb structure instead of carbonIn principle the technology exists, but we need very thin aluminium foil on either side of the honeycomb and we have high temperatures

Next development stepsCheck how the Carbon-Carbon Youngs modulus can be increasedLook for high temperature resinsNEG coating on carbon beam pipeIncrease length of test beam pipes to 2 mStudy how beam pipe length can be increased to 8 mProcure if possible Carbon-Aluminium tubeStudy honeycomb structure
