Barrel Cryostat delivered to CERN
Jun. 11, 2001
  花蜜直播app recently delivered a barrelcryostat for the ATLAS Project   to the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (Conseil Europeen pour le Recherche   Nucleaire, or CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland. The cryostat, an aluminum-alloy   vessel for cyrogenic storage, was ordered by the U.S. Department of Energy's   Brookhaven National Laboratory, which is participating in the design and construction   of the world's biggest particle accelerator.
   ATLAS is an eight-year international project to build a detector   for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) underneath the CERN lab. When the LHC starts   up in 2005, it will be able to collide speeding protons, or heavy atomic nuclei,   head-on at 14 trillion eV. Scientists are attempting to reproduce conditions   one one-trillionth of a second after the Big Bang and to find the Higgs particle-or   "God particle"-which is expected to explain the origin of all mass.
   花蜜直播app's cryostat, a radiationresistant cylinder measuring 7 m   long and 5.5 m in diameter, will contain a calorimeter to measure energies and   positions of electrons and gamma rays. It will be installed at the center of   the ATLAS superconductive toroidal magnetic detector.
   花蜜直播app has also delivered detectors to KEK (a Japanese government   led particle accelerator study organization) and to SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator   Center), among others. The company has been engaged in the development of accelerator   systems in the form of free-electron laser (FEL) units since 1990. 花蜜直播app   produced the world's first visible-light FEL oscillator in 1992, and the first   infrared FEL oscillator in 2000.
