CEC-related and ICMC-related Short Courses
Just before the CEC/ICMC Conference
Sunday, June 28, 2009
at the J.W. Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa

CEC-RELATED, FULL-DAY COURSES

Choose one:

I. Design of Optimal Helium Refrigeration and Liquefaction Systems
Instructor: Dr. Venkata “Rao” Ganni and his colleagues at JLab.
Details: They have extensive experience and background in the design concepts and practical operation of the helium cryogenic systems. This course is an attempt to provide the fundamentals for the design of an optimal system using “Simplified Concepts and Practical Viewpoints” and operation of the existing systems at the optimal conditions.
Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm

II. Fundamentals of Cryogenics
Instructors: Dr. Steven Van Sciver, FSU, NHFML, and Dr. John Pfotenhauer, U WI-Madison. Details: This new course will provide a much-needed introduction to the field of cryogenics.
Time: 8:00am - 5:00pm

Pricing
Early Registration: (on or before May 8, 2009) $290
Regular Registration: (after May 8, 2009) $300
Students: (with ID) $125

CEC-RELATED, HALF-DAY COURSES

Choose one or both:

III. Introduction to Cryostat Design
Instructors: Dr. John Weisend II, SLAC/NSF, and Tom Peterson, Fermilab.
Detail: Cryostats are the fundamental building blocks of cryogenic systems. Their basic function is to keep equipment and materials at the desired cryogenic temperature. Cryostats may contain a wide variety of equipment, for example: superconducting magnets, telescopes, detector arrays, beam targets and material test assemblies. In addition, many cryostats have unique requirements, such as the need for particle beam or optical access, severe alignment or vibration tolerances, extremely low heat leak or the capability for space launch. Despite this variation, all cryostats have common design issues and solutions. It is the goal of this short course to survey the fundamental aspects of cryostat design and illustrate solutions by using existing designs. The class will include practical design techniques and data as well as references to more detailed information. Students, new cryostat designers and researchers who use cryostats in their work will all benefits from this class.
Time: 8:00am - 12:00 noon

IV. Cryocoolers and Microcryocoolers
Instructor: Dr. Ray Radebaugh, Group Leader in the Physical and Chemical Properties Division at NIST, Boulder.
Detail: The same high-quality cryocooler course people have come to expect, updated for this presentation. The course will examine new directions in higher frequency operation of regenerative cryocoolers that allow for significant size reductions in both the compressor and the cold finger.
Time: 1:00pm - 5:00pm

Pricing
Early Registration: (on or before May 8, 2009) $140 per class
Regular Registration: (after May 8, 2009) $150 per class
Students: (with ID) $65 per class
