CFRP vacuum chamber for a large superconducting magnet

  • 1. National Lab. for High Energy Physics, Oho, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

A large vacuum chamber for thermal insulation of a superconducting magnet was constructed using CFRP. The size of the chamber is 4 m in diameter and 5.5 m in length. No problem was found in the out-gas, leakages, and mechanical strength through the construction of the TRISTAN VENUS detector magnet. By the success of the VENUS superconducting magnet, the material was proved to be very useful for cryostats of superconducting detector magnets even if the size of the cryostat is a very large one.
