More than 6’000 hours of nominal cryogenic conditions were provided for the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) physics run during 2024, allowing to reach a record integrated luminosity of 124 inverse femtobarns. The cryogenic system availability during this year was of 96.5% (target 95% to 98%). Out of the total downtime, 80% came from a series of events that led to five trips of the same 1.8 K...
The Shanghai High repetition rate XFEL and Extreme light (SHINE) facility is a free electron laser facility that is located at the Zhangjiang High-tech Park of Shanghai Pudong. The major facility is installed in the tunnels at the depth of ~29m underground and with a maximum length of 3.1 km. It is composed of five shafts, one accelerator tunnel and three parallel undulator tunnels and the...
The iLinac of the Heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HiAF) project, undertaken by the institute of Modern Physics (IMP), Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), is located at Huizhou Guangdong Province, China. The HiAF iLinac adopts Superconducting Linear Accelerator (SLA) technology, includes thirteen cryomodules of three different types of cavity with about 100 meters length in total, using 2K...
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a neutron-scattering facility which will use a pulsed 2.0 GeV proton beam generated in the linear accelerator (LINAC) for releasing high-energy neutrons in the ESS target station. The 2K superconducting LINAC is designed to comprise 43 cryomodules. The cryogenic distribution system (CDS) connects the cryogenic plant with the 43 cryomodules through a 400...
