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.
