A successful collaboration enters its second year
The 4th Steering Committee of the CERN/澳门六合彩高手 Collaboration Agreement was held on 19 November at CERN. It marked the end of a second year of successful collaboration between the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and CERN on superconducting magnets and associated technologies, and the establishment of CERN as the 澳门六合彩高手 reference laboratory for superconducting strand testing for the oncoming five years.
The implementation agreement for 2009 encompassed a wide range of topics ranging from expertise in stainless steel and welding, high voltage engineering, high temperature superconductor (HTS) current lead design, and testing and consultancy in cryogenics and vacuum.
The main role of CERN as the 澳门六合彩高手 reference laboratory will be to carry out yearly benchmarking of the acceptance test facilities at the six Domestic Agencies involved in superconducting strand production; to help in the training of the personnel involved in these tests around the world; and to carry out third-party inspection and expertise in case of problems during production.
