- Anna Szwangruber (GSI)
The Compact Accelerator Systems Test Stand (COMPASS) currently under construction at KIT provides a versatile experimental environment for the development of energy-responsible accelerator systems. COMPASS comprises a cryostat vessel with a cubic cryogenic installation space of 50 cm edge length and a power supply providing electrical currents between a few 100 A up to 10 kA. It is equipped...
For FAIR a high variety of experimental set-ups is expected. The operations scheme of SIS100 may vary in the full range of the magnets ability for seconds or several hours. Consequently, the refrigerator of FAIR has to handle different heat loads, as well as the high liquefaction rate for the start-up of the SuperFRS, with its helium inventory of 6.7 t and a cold mass of 1500 t. During the...
n the frame of the Next Generation Europe program, the EU program to boost after-covid recovery, the Italian Minister of Research has funded a project called IRIS (Innovative Research Infrastructure for applied Superconductivity). New laboratories will be built or upgraded in six poles: Milan (hub of the infrastructure), Genoa, Frascati, Naples, Salerno and Lecce, to carry out basic research...
The capability of managing superconducting devices for research large applications as well as for societal applications is tightly connected to the availability of cryogenic infrastructures and competencies. In this framework in 2015 we realized the NAFASSY program for infrastructural strengthening, which then gave rise in 2019 to the THOR cooperation with GSI/FAIR. Although we are at the very...
