Description
The cryogenic system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been in production mode since 2007.
This presentation will explain the general structure of the cryogenic system of the LHC, the installation and commissioning strategy followed and the evolution of the operation from its “expected mode” foreseen during construction phase, to its “consolidated mode”.
The second part of the presentation will highlight the main problems encountered and will explain the improvements made to solve them. We will finally present the global availability of the cryogenic system and the cryogens inventory management through the years of operation.
