Particle Accelerators and Vacuum Technology Solutions
Research in high-energy physics uses particle accelerators to analyze the properties and behaviors of fragments produced when particles collide at high speeds. Particle accelerators allow researchers to study those particles and the forces that shape them.Plasma Physics
Plasma is an ionized gas that maintains charged particles that can vary between 1 to 100 %. For products of modern life, plasma processes are essential. Semiconductor devices like microcontrollers and thin film coating applications are performed with the help of plasma processes. The need for a vacuum is derived from the necessity of having a sufficient mean-free path of atoms or molecules and high purity in an experimental environment.Photonics, Lasers, and Optics
Laser experiments require ultraclean environments that generate pressure as low as ultra-high vacuum (UHV) p < 10-5 Pa (p < 10-7 mbar). Pfeiffer Vacuum V&E supplies industrial vacuum components to meet your laser, optic, and photonic research, gravitational wave interferometer, and experiment needs.UHV Chamber Solutions
Specific vacuum technology research and experiment applications require high purity and minimal particle interactions without contaminants. Nor-Cal Products, Inc dba Pfeiffer Vacuum Valves & Engineering provides ultra-high vacuum chamber parts and components requiring a pressure of p < 10-5 Pa (p < 10-7 mbar).Applications
