THERMAL PROPERTIES
Exploring material behaviour under Extreme Conditions
Many material properties are strongly affected by the temperature. We are looking into these details specifically for the thermo-physical and thermo-mechanical behaviour
EXTREME TEMPERATURES
From as low as 1.9 K up to 2000 °C
1.9 K
At CERN, temperatures as low as 1.9 K are widely present – and necessary as the LHC particularly relies heavily on superconducting magnets.
2000 °C
On the other side, so-called beam intercepting devices interact directly with the beam. Consequence are temperatures that approach 2000 °C.
Hence, we widened our expertise and equipment to support the entire community of
CERN for most of the present temperatures present at CERN.
