PICTURE The cylindrical BCT-Monitor (see Foreground) for Precision-Measurement of COSY-Beam-Current, mounted in the COSY-Ring
PICTURE To shield against outer Magnetic Fields the BCT-Monitor gets enclosed by three concentrically arranged Barrels of Mu-Metal.
Step 1: The under Halfshells of these three Barrels are mounted (Top View).
PICTURE Step 2: A flexible Tube of Copper Cord, filled with Foam Plastic, is wrapped around the BCT-Monitor building a thermal Bridge to the inmost of the three Barrels. A Sensor for Temperature-Measurement is placed on the BCT (see: brown Foil with Flat-Cable)
PICTURE Step 3: The inmost Barrel is closed by mounting also its upper Halfshell.
Step 4: A Heat-Tape (400 W) is wrapped around. The Power Supply can be controlled regarding the Output of the Temperature Sensor to obtain a constant Temperature of the BCT-Monitor.
PICTURE Step 5: A Layer of Fiberglass around the Heat-Tape provides a thermal Insulation against the outer Mu-Metal-Barrels.
PICTURE Step 6: The two outer Mu-Metal-Barrels are closed by mounting their upper Halfshells.
PICTURE The completed Arrangement of magnetic and thermal Shielding (Lateral View). Its Weight of about 22 kg is based on a Frame to prevent the sensitive COSY-Beamline from kneeling.
