Today, the long-awaited MADMAX cryostat was delivered to
Hamburg. With the help of the DESY transport group the device was
manoeuvred into the SHELL building. Next step will be the insertion
into the actual laboratory followed by the first cool-down of the
cryostat and the commissioning of the experiment. After testing and
commissioning of the whole system, the experiment will be moved to
CERN in 2026 where it is inserted into the 1.6 T magnetic field of the
Morpurgo magnet to search for dark matter axions.
