About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Magnetic Shields Limited for the supply of a passive magnetic shield for a liquid helium test cryostat used for Superconducting RF (SRF) cavities at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Daresbury Laboratory.

The shield is designed to attenuate stray magnetic fields to less than 1 micro-T in the region surrounding SRF cavities within a large vertical cryostat, where stray fields vary between 60 and 100 micro-T.

The shield will surround the entire cryostat except the top opening and, given its large dimensions, will consist of multiple parts assembled on site to form a single shield.

The cryostat is located inside a square concrete pit of 2200 mm x 2200 mm.

The contract value is AUD 79,080.
