Conservation of helium has become more important in recent years due to global shortages in supply and increasing prices. MRI superconducting magnets use approximately 20% of the world’s helium reserves in liquid form to cool down and maintain operating temperatures at 4K. Efforts are being made to conserve helium in transporting superconducting MRI magnets by shipping them warm and cooling...

The shortage of helium, particularly liquid helium has made the use of cryogen free magnets attractive. The attractiveness of cryogen free device depends on the operating temperature of the device, the distance from the cold head to the device being cooled, the thermal conductivity of the connection, and the size of the object being cooled or cooled down. Connecting a cold source to...

In the frame of the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC, improved collimation schemes are needed to cope with the superconducting magnet quench limitations due to the increasing beam intensities and particle debris produced in the collision points. Two new TCLD collimators have to be installed on either side of the ALICE experiment to intercept heavy-ion particle debris. Beam optics solutions...
