Jefferson Lab Site Tour
Test Lab - Liquid Helium Vesse
Cavities have to be kept cold to work. This tank will be used to hold the newly cleaned and joined cavities in a bath of liquid Helium. Liquid Helium is used to chill the cavities to 456 degrees below zero.
This tour reflects Jefferson Lab as it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In particular, this predates the 12 GeV upgrade and the addition of Hall D. For a modern look at the Lab, please see the Jeffeson Lab Virtual Tour.
