Notice Information

Notice Title

UK SBS PR16197 Magnetic Shield for Vertical Cryostat

Notice Description

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), through its Daresbury Laboratory, invites tenders for the supply of a passive magnetic shielding for a liquid helium test cryostat for SRF cavities. A magnetic shield is required to attenuate stray magnetic field to less than 1 micro-T in the region surrounding Superconducting - RF (SRF) cavities in a large vertical cryostat. SRF cavities mounted on an especially designed insert will be tested at a temperature of 2 K with superfluid liquid helium. Stray magnetic field surrounding the cryostat varies between 60 micro-T to 100 micro-T. The shield will surround the entire cryostat from outside except the top opening. Considering the large dimensions, it is foreseen that the shield will consist of a number of parts assembled together on site to form a single shield. The cryostat will be located inside a square shaped concrete pit of 2200 mm x 2200 mm. Additional information: DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER As part of the strategic alliance between UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) and Crown Commercial Service (CCS), UK SBS can use the CCS eSourcing Suite for future procurements.
