Abstract

The Gersemi cryogenic test bench, installed at FREIA laboratory at Uppsala University, was used for the first time in 2021 to power a superconducting magnet. As part of the HL-LHC program, this cryostat offers an operating temperature between 4.2K and 1.9K. Its satellite equipment such as power converters and the acquisition system allow two superconducting magnet coils to be powered up to 2 kA and provide magnet protection through a robust quench detection and two energy extraction units. This report describes Gersemi's first cryogenic operational experiment and the safety strategy to ensure magnet integrity during operation.
