Introduction to cryogenics

Cryogenics comprises the systems and technologies required to produce and maintain the extremely low temperatures needed in many parts of a particle accelerator. It is therefore a crucial component in the successful operation of accelerator facilities and other Big Science Facilities.

Cryogenic systems combine various disciplines of accelerator physics with mechanical, thermal, and control engineering. Procurement in this area includes the design, manufacture, maintenance, and improvement of equipment such as cryomodules, transfer lines, helium compressors, and refrigeration units.

Target groups

This Technical Seminar is aimed at companies and organisations interested in supplying to Big Science facilities. Relevant sectors include advanced manufacturing, engineering, industrial services, and high-tech systems – with particular relevance for those working in cryogenics, thermal insulation, vacuum technology, superconducting applications, and precision control systems.
