About
The Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (BASE) makes world leading precision measurements of the fundamental properties of protons and anti-protons to look for CPT violation in the standard model of particle physics. To keep improving measurements BASE must have very strong control of the systematics of the experiment, primarily the magnetic field. BASE exists inside CERN's Antimatter Factory, where the magnetic field is fluctuating due to the different decelerator magnets. In order to achieve a magnetic field that is homogenous and stable over time BASE must implement a superconducting coil system which allows them to tune the magnetic field in their measurement traps. In this talk I will talk about this coil system and its requirements for improved superconducting electrical joints in order to improve the performance of the system.
Thomas Hepworth is entering his 4th year of his physics honours degree at the University of Winnipeg. He is from Transcona, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada..
