Helium cryogenics at TRIUMF.

Number: pap. 031

Author(s) : SEKACHEV I.

Summary

There are four helium refrigerators presently operational at TRIUMF. Two of them are used for cooling the ISAC superconducting linear accelerator (SC-linac), Phase-I and Phase-II. The third one is for the vacuum cryopumping of the 500 MeV cyclotron. The fourth is used for the superconducting detector magnet of the muon experimental facility. It is planned to have a few more helium refrigerators installed and commissioned within the next 5 year plan: one for 2 K operations of the e-linear accelerator (e-linac), one to support the ultra cold neutron (UCN) experimental facility, and to re-liquefy helium used by various experiments on site. The details and status of all helium refrigerators are discussed.
