The operation of the LHC accelerator requires a large cryogenic infrastructure composed of eight cryoplants at 4.5 K, eight units at 1.8 K and the associated cryo-distribution, supplying each ring sector and using a variety of equipment with over 3’500 operating conditions to manage. In order to maximize the availability of the machine and meet the requirements for physics, constant attention...
The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University is a United States national user facility for rare isotope research and education in nuclear science, astro-nuclear physics, and accelerator science. The Coupled Cyclotron Facility at NSCL, consisting of two coupled cyclotrons, accelerates stable ion beams to energies of up to 170 MeV/u. Rare isotope beams...
The J-PARC facility has been running an accelerator since 2007 and it has been about 10 years since. Since the facility is close to the coastline and is built on soft ground, it was hit hard by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Maintenance of various infrastructures is required due to aftereffects and aging. In this report, we will report on the current situation of infrastructure...
