The cryogenic system of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino KATRIN experiment.

Author(s) : GROHMANN S., NEUMANN H.

Summary

The authors describe the cryogenic system of the KATRIN experiment that is being built at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. The 70-m long experiment comprises 8 magnet cryostats with about 30 superconducting magnets. The cryostats are connected to a common helium transfer line through valve boxes allowing for independent operation. A helium refrigerator provides the cooling capacity for the magnets, as well as for an argon frost cryopump and for the beam tube cooling of the tritium source, the latter having extreme requirements on the temperature homogeneity and stability (plus or minus 0.1% at 30 and 120 K).
