Cryocollimator for Accelerators
The cryocollimator is a highly precise special component developed for the FAIR accelerator at GSI in Darmstadt. It optimizes high-energy particle beams by capturing and containing unwanted particles under cryogenic conditions (down to 4 K). As a globally unique prototype, the cryocollimator was specifically developed for FAIR. Its construction from high-purity copper and stainless steel ensures thermal efficiency, mechanical stability, and vacuum compatibility – even under extreme radiation and thermal conditions.
