Timelapse of the assembling of the vacuum system in the HiRes lab.
The video shows the installation of our final vacuum chamber, the so-called science chamber. First, we measure if everything fits and where we need to place the components. Afterward, the system is assembled. For achieving ultra-high vacuum the chamber has to be heated up to 150-200°C to "bake out" all moisture and other residuals inside the chamber. Therefore, the chamber is wrapped in aluminum foil and heat bands in the end.
