Cooling options for ASTROMAG.

Summary

A comparison of the various cooling options for the ASTROMAG particle physics experiment is presented. The baseline design for the cryogenic system involves using a natural circulation fountain-effect driven flow loop (Hofmann type). The paper considers two alternative options for cooling. The first design involves a thermal strap which connects the coil to the helium reservoir. Venting helium vapour can also be used to cool the magnet. The second design is based on a helium II heat pipe concept where steady-state heat transport is achieved by counterflow. Forced flow helium II is available only during extraordinary operating conditions.
