Ganil* in Caen has a new superconducting linear accelerator. Researchers at Irig recently tackled the challenge of achieving millibar-precision pressure control of 26 superconducting accelerator cavities cooled to 4.5 K by a liquid helium bath.The researchers used Simcryogenics, Irig’s simulation tool for large cryogenic equipment, to model the accelerator. The modeling and subsequent development of […] >>
