Abstract:

The Gersemi cryogenic test bench, installed at FREIA Laboratory at Uppsala University, was used for the first time in 2021 to power a superconducting magnet. As part of the HL-LHC program, this cryostat offers an operating temperature between 4.2 K and 1.9 K. Its satellite equipment, such as power converters and the acquisition system, allow two superconducting magnet coils to be powered up to 2 kA and provide magnet protection through a robust quench detection and two energy extraction units. With a 1.1 m diameter and 2.65 m below the lambda plate, it is a unique facility to test superconducting magnets in Sweden.

In this presentation, I will briefly present the FREIA laboratory and the cryogenics system before focusing on Gersemi and the test of superconducting magnets.
