ASC and Cryogenic Society of America (CSA) Short Courses All ASC and CSA Short Courses will take place at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on Sunday, August 17, 2008.
Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fees for short courses are non-refundable. A substitute registrant will be accepted. Fees for short courses are not included in the Conference Registration Fee.
To register for an ASC short course you must do so when registering for the conference.
Click here to register for a CSA short course. Pre-registrations will be accepted through Monday, August 11, 2008. Please see CSA short course information below.
Please be advised that on-site registrants are not guaranteed a copy of the course materials, although every effort will be made to get you a copy of those materials later in the day. If you have any questions after learning about the short course options, please contact Sastry Pamidi (ASC) at pamidi@caps.fsu.edu or CSA at csa@cryogenicsociety.org.
ASC offered Short Courses On-site registration is available and will be held in the Comiskey room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

CSA offered Short Courses Registration for the CSA short courses must be made through the CSA website at http://www.cryogenicsociety.org/seminars/asc_short_courses_2008.
Fees (do not include lunch): Non-Student: $150 Early, $200 Late (after July 7, 2008); Students: $100 (must provide ID) Pre-regristrations will be accepted through Monday, August 11, 2008.
1. Tom Peterson, Fermilab
This half-day class will be entitled "Auxiliary Cryogenic Systems and Components". This class will focus on some of the special assemblies required in large-scale liquid helium systems which interface to devices being cooled. These special assemblies include test dewars and test stands for large accelerator magnets and RF cavities, and large distribution boxes and transfer lines. Cooling conditions in test dewars and test stands may include 4.5 K saturated or subcooled liquid helium, pressurized superfluid, and/or saturated superfluid. "Feed" and "distribution" boxes may include thermal transitions of various kinds, power leads for electric current which now often include high temperature superconductors, instrumentation, vacuum barriers, control valves, relief valves, etc., presenting many unique design problems. Design, procurement, and operational experience will be discussed.
2. Dr. Ray Radebaugh, National Institute of Standards and Technology
This short course will review the various types of refrigeration methods currently available to meet the needs of various applications of superconductors. The course is limited primarily to closed-cycle systems, known as cryocoolers, although their use as reliquefiers is also included in the course.
