Beam screen regenerative heating: cryogenic impact and feasibility

Desorbtion of gas (H2, CO, CO2...) trapped on the beam screen wall is envisaged by regenerative heating to temperature varying between 40 K and 90 K depending on the gas species. This new requirement has direct consequences on the cold mass heat loads, on the heating capacity needed to reach the regeneration conditions, as well as on the heater and piping configuration. This note presents different configuration schemes, studies the cryogenic feasibility with existing limitations and gives the impact on the cryogenic system in terms of additional equipment and corresponding extra costs.
