SM18 Test facility

SM18 TEST BENCHES

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,
