Packaging of Cryogenic Components Day one Introduction and Overview 2
What is important? Packaging of Cryogenic Components Results gradient MV/m, Field Tesla Heat Load low heat leak Multiple tests- retest of magnets or cavities Schedule demonstrate functionality Costs limited funds or stay within project costs Ease of production tradeoff of tooling versus people 3
Thermal Insulation In general cryogenic systems require a perfection of thermal insulation when compared to most other systems, but the choice usually comes down to a compromise of factors such as economy, convenience, weight, ruggedness and volume. 4
Superconducting Magnets Accelerator Magnets Detector Magnets Magnet Power Leads Magnet Lead Cans 5
Superconducting Magnets Operate at Helium Temperatures ~ 4 K Generally Niobium Titanium Superconductor Magnetic Fields range from 2 to 10 Tesla Accelerator magnets require excellent reproducibility due to multiple beam passes Detector magnets generally are quite large Detector magnets generally iron 6
