Han Hubert Dols — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 09:07:16 +0000

The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is the leading French organisation for research, development, and innovation in the domains of energy, defence, information technologies, communication and health. CEA is also dedicated to connecting the worlds of research and industry. It is one of the most prominent players in research and innovation in France.

CEA’s Institute for Research into the Fundamental laws of the Universe (IRFU) is involved in FuSuMaTech. This institute with more than 600 engineers, technicians and physicists performs research on the fundamental laws of the Universe, including Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. The position of IRFU in developing and realizing particle accelerators, cryogenic systems and superconducting magnets is unique in France. It is based on a backbone of scientific skills and a large technological platform of 25000m2, the so called SYNERGIUM. As a result IRFU is a key partner for the construction of international accelerators for fundamental science such as LHC at CERN, E-XFEL in DESY (Germany), the FAIR complex at GSI (Germany), the SPIRAL2 accelerator at GANIL (France), ESS in Sweden, and of fusion- related facilities (ITER in France, JT60SA and IFMIF in Japan).

Under H2020, 28 projects involving teams from the IRFU have been funded by the European Commission, including 8 ERC Grants and 11 research infrastructures projects.

CERN possesses the largest accelerator complex in the world with as flagship machine the LHC collider that is situated in a 27 km circumference ring shaped tunnel. The LHC can collide two 7 TeV high brightness proton beams to produce the collision events studied by two “all purpose” (ATLAS and CMS) and two specialised (LHCb and ALICE) experiments. The LHC is using the highest field superconducting accelerator magnets (eg. 1232 15 m long 8 T dipole magnets) existing at the moment and has the largest cryogenic system that exists in the world. To support the operation of the machine and development of future magnets, CERN has a complete set of laboratories, workshops and test stations where any size of superconducting or resistive magnet can be developed, designed, built and tested.

Dr. Gijs de Rijk – (M). Gijs received a master degree in in low temperature physics from the University of Leiden. In 1986 he did a PhD at the University of Amsterdam on the results of a particle physics experiment at CERN as member of the NIKHEF institute. During his fellowship at CERN he participated on the first designs of the LHC dipoles magnets. Subsequently he participated on the commissioning of the LEP accelerator as engineer in charge in the operations group at CERN. After that he was responsible for the design and construction of all the resistive magnets in the LHC ring. From 2003 to 2006 he was responsible for one of the three construction contracts of the LHC dipoles. After the LHC construction he set up and ran the High Field Magnet project at CERN, developing the technology of Nb₃Sn magnets for HL-LHC and future colliders.

Moving to CERN in 1994, he was responsible for the conceptual design and manufacture of several of the LHC accelerator magnets, namely the final pocus quadrupole MQXA, and MQY, MQM, and then was responsible for transferring the technology to industry and acting as the main contact for the companies during the large scale production. He also designed a large quantity of tooling used for the assembly of the LHC cold masses. He was then project leader for MQXC, a highly challenging magnet foreseen for the phase 1 upgrade of LHC, that was successfully tested in 2012. He has been responsible for several patents, on magnet protection and construction technology. During the last 4 years, he has been responsible for the development of a HTS magnet, that will potentially push the superconducting accelerator magnets to ultra-high magnetic fields, while incorporating many new materials and processes.
