Special properties of the refrigeration of the accelerator Nuclotron.

Author(s) : AGAPOV N. N., KHODZHIBAGIYAN H. G., KOVALENKO A. D., SMIRNOV A. A.

Summary

The Nuclotron is the first superconducting synchrotron intended for the acceleration of high energy nuclei and heavy ions up to uranium. The accelerator is designed to provide beams of relativistic particles with energies up to 6 gigaelectronvolts per nucleon. Its cryogenic system includes three helium refrigerators. Each refrigerator has a nominal capacity of 1600 watts at 4.5 K. These refrigerators cool the accelerator ring, which has a perimeter of 251 meters and a "cold" mass of about 80 tons. Experience in some new technical solutions in the design of the Nuclotron cryogenic system is discussed.
