Cryogenics plays an important role at the European Spallation Source, a world class neutron science center, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. Three principal applications of cryogenics are found at ESS. The SRF cryomodules of the ESS proton linac require cooling at 2 K, 4.5 K and 40 K; the LH2 moderator surrounding the target that produces neutrons, requires cooling via 16 K helium...

Plenary Oral (45min)
The dominant use of superconductors remains magnet technology, applications very well served by the low temperature superconductors (LTS), Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn, even if the dreams of large scale superconducting electrotechnology have driven huge investments in the High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) conductors, (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) and REBa2Cu3Ox (REBCO). But well over 95% of all...
