LCLS-II Cryoplant (VIDEO)

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Caption

The linac is equipped with two world-class helium cryoplants. One of these cryoplants, built specifically for LCLS-II, cools helium gas from room temperature all the way down to its liquid phase at just a few degrees above absolute zero, providing the coolant for the accelerator.
