ShareStatus of the Tevatron cryosystem upgrade.
Author(s) : FUERST J. D., THEILACKER J. C.
Summary
Fermilab's Tevatron accelerates counter-rotating beams of protons and anti-protons to an energy of 900 gigaelectronvolts per beam for high energy physics research. An upgrade to the liquid helium cryogenic system is under way. An 11% energy increase is sought using cold vapour compression to reduce the magnet operating temperatures from 4.8 K down to about 4.0 K. The paper describes the status of the upgrade including cold compressor operating history, magnet performance at lower temperature, and hardware reliability issues.
