Cryogenics in CERN accelerators.

Author(s) : LEBRUN P.

Summary

Cryogenics has been for long an ancillary technology to high-energy physics experiments, from bubble chambers and spectrometry, to argon calorimeters. But its application for particle accelerators and colliders is more recent, as it follows the development of superconductivity for these systems, which, today, require large, powerful cryogenic systems. The paper presents the development of these systems at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland (LEP2 and LHC).
