The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will require expanded cryogenic capacity, with the existing RHIC 4.5 K helium plant providing cooling for superconducting magnets, SRF systems, and the new detector magnet, as well as supplying and processing return helium for three new 2 K satellite plants around the EIC ring. Built in the early 1980s and refurbished for RHIC in the 1990s, the plant has...

Paolo Pizzol (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)Superconducting SystemsOral
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linear accelerator (LINAC) operates with superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities maintained at 1.8 K. The cavities are cooled by a continuously running liquid helium refrigeration system. The cryogenic plant has supported uninterrupted operation for nearly two decades, enabling stable cavity performance and...
