The preparations for the commissioning of the MADMAX Prototype (Cryostat) in the SHELL laboratory at the begin of 2024 were supported today by the "strongest loading crane in the north". Heavy equipment including parts of a Helium gas recovery system and several compressors for cryocoolers were lifted into the technical room next to SHELL with the help of the company Griebel & Mahncke. Even the high pressure helium compressor with a weight of 650 kg was easily lifted with the long arm of the loading crane.

First testbeam of the year

Last week we had our first testbeam of the year. This time, we took data in area T24 of the DESY II test beam facility to test Low Gain Avalanch Diodes (LGADs) at different voltages and under different beam incidence angles.
