Abstract:
The Helium-6 CRES experiment at CENPA seeks to probe physics beyond the standard model by conducting precise measurements of the Helium-6 and Neon-19 beta decay spectra through the novel CRES technique. The experiment relies on an ultra-high vacuum system, created and maintained by an array of vacuum pumps and getters, to remove contaminants and ensure that the events we observe are true beta decays, and not scatters off background gases. In this talk we will discuss the redesign process of our second stage cryopump to improve pumping performance and fix leaks over the previous iteration.
