Division of accelerators, cryogenics and magnetism

Technical means

• Measurement cell cooled with a cryogenerator (P = 1.5 W à 4.2 K),

• Sample cell :
  • temperature measurements with an accuracy of ± 5 mK for 4 K ≤ T ≤ 100 K, and ± 10 mK for T  > 100 K,
  • thermal conductivity measurements with the differential or integral method,

• Automated measurement sequences with multi-channel fast data acquisition system.

Achievements, related projects

• Study of a CFRP support for the Herschel and Planck satellites,
• Measurements on titanium for the CMS detector in the framework of the LHC / CERN project,
• Measurements on aluminium alloy for the ATLAS detector in the framework of the LHC / CERN project,
• Measurements on several adhesives, including currently an epoxy resin in the framework of a study on superconducting cable stacks (ongoing project with CERN).

Technical steps, expertise

• Possible mechanical adjustments in order to install the sample in the measurement cell,
• Automated measurement sequences.

This plateform is proposed to Transnational access in the framework of the EURO-LABS – EUROpean Laboratories for Accelerator Based Science project. To know how to apply, visit the EURO-LABS website.

It is also available for external users thanks to the AMICI collaboration.
