The Vacuum Technology Division provides a forum for research in achieving, maintaining, measuring, and analyzing vacuum or vacuum processes across a wide range of pressures, gas compositions, and applications. The 2021 program includes the following topics: Vacuum Measurement; Vacuum Pumping; Large Vacuum Systems; Accelerator; Vacuum Quality Control. New topics, highlighted by special sessions, are entitled “Vacuum Technology for Quantum Applications,” “Next Generation Synchrotron Light Sources,” and “Fusion Research.” The poster session features the VT Student Poster Competition, where students of any discipline are invited to share their innovative solutions to vacuum equipment challenges. Student awards will also be given for the best oral presentations.
