The Cryogenic System for the ASTROMAG Test Coil

OSTI ID:893046
This paper describes an all helium, low heat leak cryogenic system for the testing of a superconducting magnet coil for the ASTROMAG particle astrophysics experiment. The superconducting coil, which is projected to have a stored magnetic energy of 4 to 7 MJ, will be cooled by pumped helium from a liquid helium storage tank using a fountain effect helium II pump. The pumping system can be used to cool the cryogenic system down as well as keep the coil cold during its superconducting operation. The integration of retractable 900 A gas-cooled electrical leads with the intermediate shields and intercepts is discussed.
