Department of Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism
Irfu/DACM
Department of Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism

Solenoid for the CMS detector (Irfu)

The mission of the Department of Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism is to develop and build:

  • particle accelerators
  • ion sources
  • accelerator radio-frequency cavities
  • cryogenic systems
  • superconducting magnets

DACM has extensive assembly, integration and testing facilities, ranging from winding and magnet assembly halls, to large clean rooms for accelerator systems and small test stations to characterize materials, to very large stations capable of testing complete assemblies. Thanks to its advanced skills, the DACM ensures the prime contracting of accelerators or parts of accelerator such as Iphi, the design and prime contracting of accelerator magnets and magnets integrated into detection devices as well as associated cryogenic devices.

Drawing on its skills, the DACM applies its technologies to other research fields such as energy with the JT-60SA tokamak or life sciences with the Iseult project magnet. To provide the necessary tools for advances in basic and applied research, it also conducts a strong R&D program that prepares the future of technologies. It also designs and develops platforms and test stations as well as the production of cryogenic fluids used at Irfu.
