The Vacuum Technology Division (VTD) provides a community to share ideas and novel approaches to advancing vacuum science and technology. We are soliciting abstracts in a broad range of topics relating to the science and engineering involved in achieving, maintaining, analyzing, and measuring vacuum wherever it is required. Our contributors come from industry, national laboratory, and academics and their presentations range from novel methods and devices for measuring gas composition, as well as outgassing of materials, large vacuum systems, and vacuum technology for semiconductor and aerospace applications. We strive to grow in areas like vacuum applications for Quantum Science and Sustainable Energy production. VT hosts the Ask the Experts (ATE) booth during exhibit hours: an informal forum—staffed by vacuum experts—where conference attendees may ask questions, discuss their work, and gather ideas for innovative solutions.
Areas of Interest: VTD offers a platform for sharing the latest research results, ideas, and innovative approaches to advancing vacuum science and technology and we encourage submissions on the following topics:
- Vacuum Measurement, Gas Analysis
- Pumping, Outgassing, and Contamination
- Accelerators, Aerospace, and Large Vacuum Systems
- New and Applied Technologies: Vacuum for quantum computing, additive manufacturing, and vacuum manipulation
- Vacuum Systems for Fusion
Contributors from industry, national laboratories, and academia are invited to present their work in these areas, with opportunities to share novel methods, devices, and applications relevant to vacuum technology.
Additionally, VTD will host the popular “Ask the Experts” (ATE) booth during exhibit hours. This informal forum, staffed by leading vacuum experts, offers attendees an opportunity to ask questions, discuss challenges, and explore ideas for innovative solutions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing the discussion on critical topics in vacuum technology and materials science.
