Quality Testing of Gaseous Helium Pressure Vessels by Acoustic Emission
/ Barranco-Luque, M ; Cherfaoui, M ; Hervé, C ; Margaroli, C ; Sergo, V
The resistance of pressure equipment is currently tested, before commissioning or at periodic maintenance, by means of normal pressure tests. Defects occurring inside materials during the execution of these tests or not seen by usual non-destructive techniques can remain as undetected potential sources of failure . [...]

Applying Advanced Control Techniques for Temperature Regulation of the LHC Superconducting Magnets
/ Flemsæter, B ; Blanco-Viñuela, E ; Casas-Cubillos, J ; De Prada-Moraga, C ; Saelid, S
The temperature of the superconducting magnets for the future LHC accelerator is a control parameter with strict operating constraints imposed by (a) the maximum temperature at which the magnets can o perate, (b) the cooling capacity of the cryogenic system, (c) the variability of applied heat loads and (d) the accuracy of the instrumentation. A temperature regulation with narrow control band can i n principle be achieved by implementing a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-type controller. [...]

Performance Assessment of Industrial Prototype Cryogenic Helium Compressors for the Large Hadron Collider
/ Bézaguet, Alain-Arthur ; Lebrun, P ; Tavian, L
In order to develop the technology of large-capacity refrigeration at superfluid helium temperature, essential for the LHC project, CERN has procured from industry three prototype single-stage hydrody namic cryogenic helium compressors, based on different construction choices, and tested them in the laboratory. After recalling the common functional specification, as well as the main design features of the three machines, we present comparative performance results, and draw conclusions as concerns future full-scale machines for the LHC..

Supercritical Helium Cooling of the LHC Beam Screens
/ Hatchadourian, E ; Lebrun, P ; Tavian, L
The cold mass of the LHC superconducting magnets, operating in pressurised superfluid helium at 1.9 K, must be shielded from the dynamic heat loads induced by the circulating particle beams, by means of beam screens maintained at higher temperature. The beam screens are cooled between 5 and 20 K by forced flow of weakly supercritical helium, a solution which avoids two-phase flow in the long, narr ow cooling channels, but still presents a potential risk of thermohydraulic instabilities.

The liquid krypton calorimeter cryogenics for the NA48 experiment

The NA48 cryogenic system has to provide stable thermal conditions (120 K) in a 9000 liter liquid krypton calorimeter, and has to ensure safe and loss free storage of the liquid during idle periods. Direct cooling of the krypton by nitrogen is used in emergency cases, while an intermediate cooler, containing saturated liquid argon at around 10 bar (117 K) is used under normal operation conditions when high thermal stability is needed.

Progress in construction of the LHC
/ Evans, Lyndon R (CERN) ; Lebrun, P (CERN)
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project, approved by the CERN Council in December 1994, has now fully entered its construction phase, with the detailed technical definition of the major systems, and the adjudication of a number of large procurement contracts. We first recall the main features and characteristics of the LHC, report on the advances in definition of the layout and optics as well as on preparation of the injector complex, and review recent progress in the key technical systems of the main ring: magnets, cryogenics and vacuum, as well as civil construction, which has started following acceptance by authorities in the Host States..
