For the first time, a team at Fermilab has cooled and operated a superconducting radio-frequency cavity — a crucial component of superconducting particle accelerators using cryogenic refrigerators — with cryocoolers, breaking the tradition of cooling cavities by immersing them in a bath of liquid helium. It achieved an accelerating gradient of 6.6 million volts per meter.

This new method — based on a Fermilab idea patented five years ago — uses cryogenic refrigerators, or cryocoolers, for removing the heat dissipated by a superconducting accelerator cavity. By compressing and expanding helium gas across a regenerative heat exchanger in a “closed” cycle, the cryocoolers produce cooling without letting the helium out. This closed-cycle operation of cryocoolers makes the system very compact — more so than the standard liquid helium cooling equipment used by traditional accelerator cavities.

Last Tuesday, following the 14th International Symposium on Nuclear Fusion Technology in Budapest (ISFNT-14), the meeting between Spanish and Hungarian companies and institutions took place. It has been the beginning of a fruitful collaboration that will continue to consolidate over the next few years.

Conference "Technology transfer workshop" in ALBA synchrotron

Details

Published on Wednesday, 25 September 2019 09:09

The Synchrotron ALBA organizes the "Technology Transfer Workshop (I2-TTW)" event to discuss technology transfer opportunities from the university to the company, in which there will also be a visit to the synchrotron facilities.

It is organized by the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and the ALBA synchrotron.

The event will take place on October 24-25, 2019 at the Synchrotron ALBA facilities in Cerdanyola del Valles.
