Influence of Mechanical Deformations on the Performance of a Coaxial Shield for a Cryogenic Current Comparator

Abstract

This paper studies the impact of mechanical deformations on the performance of a coaxial-type cryogenic current comparator (CCC). Such deformations may become a concern as the size of the CCC increases (e.g. when used as a diagnostic device in a particle accelerator facility involving beamlines with a large diameter). In addition to static deformations, this paper also discusses the effect of mechanical vibrations on the CCC performance.
