TI - Operational Experience with the Improved VSR DEMO Collimating Shielded Bellow in BESSY II J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - The Collimating Shielded Bellow (CsB) is designed to serve both as a flexible beam pipe connection between two adjacent superconducting cavities as foreseen in VSR DEMO and as a synchrotron light collimator to shield the down-stream cavity from synchrotron radiation. A convoluted inner RF shield was applied to prevent fundamental mode heating of the stainless-steel-made bellow in the cryogenic environment, making the such captured inner volume very difficult to access for inspection and cleaning. A first version of the device was successfully tested as part of the beam pipe of the synchrotron light source BESSY II under regular operation for more than a year. It suffered from an unfavorable long outgassing commissioning. Therefore a detachable design, allowing for rigorous inner surface preparation and cleaning, was built and recently installed in BESSY II. CsB version 2 design and experimental outcomes are described in the paper. First results indicated a significantly improved vacuum commissioning performance, which was confirmed later on.
