The superconducting (SC) magnet subsystems for the Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) provide steady state axial fields between 0.05 T and 2.5 T in order to confine the plasma generation and enable the necessary radio freqency source and heating to achieve fusion prototypic environments at different material targets. To maximize the thermal stability of the superconducting magnets and...
Prior to the invention of the vacuum flask by James Dewar in 1895, cryogenic temperatures below 100 K could not be maintained for very long. The development of the modern cryostat was an extension of the basic Dewar vacuum flask. The design of the cryostat and its insulation system is a function of the cryostat's intended use. The type of refrigeration available also influenced the...
GSI/FAIR is planning for a Helmholtz Linear Accelerator (HELIAC), a continuous-wave linear accelerator that will allow for new research opportunities with a continuous particle beam. The first cryogenic accelerator module of the HELIAC, the so-called advanced demonstrator, has been designed, manufactured and tested at 4 K. The cryostat of the advanced demonstrator has a length of about 5 m and...
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will reuse most of the existing superconducting magnets from the RHIC storage ring. However, for some sectors of the machine, a modification of the accelerators optics will be required. To do this, the existing RHIC magnet electrical circuits will have to be modified and some superconducting current leads will need to be used at higher...
