Cryogenics for detectors (chairperson: Shrikant Pattalwar)

Speaker

Mr Jérôme Pellé (GTT)

Description

GTT, a French Engineering company specialized in the design of cryogenic containment systems works with CERN on developments of specific cryostats dedicated to the CERN activities. Thanks to a design done with components well adapted to cryogenic specificities, GTT proposes solutions fulfilling the project needs. A perfect tightness of the containment system associated with high thermal characteristics of insulation space limit the heat exchanges and participate in the argon purity.
After the success of the 17m³ pilot design, a similar design philosophy has been considered for the two future cryostats NP02 and NP04 which will be used by CERN to detect interactions between neutrinos and argon atoms.
