Horizontal Field Magnets

Most cryomagnets are available from a pool on request. Sufficient advance notice to sane(at)ill.fr is required for their reservation and preparation. A small number of cryomagnets are assigned to specific instruments. The scientific and technical staff of the instruments concerned are in charge of their maintenance. However, major repairs and modifications are carried out in the workshop of the Services for Advanced Neutron Environment team.

All requests for liquid helium should be be made at least 48 hours in advance. Please arrange with your Local Contact to order your helium. If you are not familiar with transferring liquid helium between dewar and cryostat, please do not hesitate to call for assistance from your Local Lontact or directly from the Services for Advanced Neutron Environment team.
