Objective
The Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) is the largest underground infrastructure in the world completely devoted to fundamental science in the fields of neutrino physics, study of rare events, and astroparticle physics. It is located under the Gran Sasso mountain in Abruzzo (central Italy).
Several international collaborations are planning or are installing at LNGS experiments requiring high level professional cryogenic technologies in particular in the fields of transportation, storage, purification, and handling of large quantities of cryogenic fluids in a closed environment; in this context safety issues are of particular importance, given the fact that experiments at LNGS are built and are operating deep underground.In order to acquire on-site specific competences in these fields, LNGS proposes to coordinate a TOK-IAP project with the "Division Techniques Avancées" (DTA) of AirLiquide (AL), the advanced engineering division leader in Europe in the sector of cryogenic techniques, located in Grenoble (France).
The proposed project has a total duration of 20 months. In a first phase selected LNGS staff members will be seconded to DTA Grenoble; they will attend special training courses directly managed by AirLiquide experts with the aim to acquire a solid scientific and technological knowledge in the most relevant aspects of advanced cryogenic engineering. In a second phase the trained personnel will return to LNGS together with experts from AL-DTA in order to consolidate the acquired know-how, and form a highly qualified cryogenic division able to support the demanding requests in terms of cryogenic plants and techniques of the LNGS experiments in the future years.
