This book describes the design, construction and commissioning of the cryogenic systems at the European Spallation Source, a new Big Science Facility. It also describes the experiences and lessons learned in building a complex cryogenic system in a brand new laboratory with significant in-kind contributions. Cryogenics is a key enabling technology for ESS, playing a pivotal role in the accelerator, target and instrument systems. The ESS cryogenic system is both large and state-of-the-art. This book describes the ESS cryogenic system, including the evolution of the design, final design, procurement, construction, installation, commissioning and operating experience. Detailed design information and operating data will be provided. Lessons learned will be highlighted and the unique aspects of working in a brand new laboratory with significant in-kind contributions will be covered. Key Features: The book will be written by experts in the field, providing a best-practice handbook for the implementation/operation of state-of-the-art cryogenic technologies in a big-science facility – i.e. aim is to give readers practical tools/approaches that they can use in their own research setting. Detailed design information and operating data will be provided for the cryogenic system (including evolution of cryogenic system designs). Will cover challenges, solutions and lessons learned resulting from a green-field site with significant in-kind contributions from multiple partners. The book will contain extensive references that will aid further research and study. |
