Description

In the course of ITSF 2017 DESY presented its approach to detect Helium leakages in superconducting infrastructure. The test setup, on which the report has been made, delivered promising results. It was therefore decided to take the next step and design a system based on infrared technology to monitor the main LINAC of the European XFEL facility. On the basis of these results, and other experiences during the tests, a system was customized to meet the requirements of different departments at DESY and exploit synergy effects. The system´s layout and operating principle may be of interest for other institutes as well.
