SM18 Test facility

 

The SM18 facility at CERN is a world leading  cryogenic test  facility used to test:

• Supraconducting Magnets either within their cryostats or alone for development in vertical or horizontal test benches,
• Supraconducting Radio Frequency cavities and modules
• Instrumentation at low temperature (1.9 K up to 80 K) and up to high currents (30 kA) 

Due to its wide infrastructure and long expertise it has a unique capabilities to carry out complex tests for instrumentation and superconducting components in vertical or horizontal test benches or cryostats,
