This course aims at acquiring knowledge in engineering design and construction of cryostats for accelerator superconducting devices operated with helium. It includes understanding the technical requirements and operational aspects of a cryogenic systems for helium liquefaction and refrigeration. The course is aimed at acquiring calculation tools for cryostat design and for heat transfer to helium (including superfluid).   

Target audience: engineers/scientists (and tech. engineers with relevant background)   

Pre-requisites: basic knowledge in thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, basic knowledge on superconducting devices and related technology
