On 29 July, the rector of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, Ryszard Tadeusiewicz, and CERN’s director-general, Robert Aymar, signed a collaboration agreement relating to the commissioning of the instrumentation and monitoring equipment for the cryogenic system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A team consisting of 12 physicists, engineers and technicians from the AGH University will assist teams at CERN in commissioning the cryogenic system in the tunnel.
This is the first in a series of agreements that will relate to the commissioning of the LHC’s various systems. From the end of this year until the summer of 2007, CERN will enlist the aid of physicists, engineers and technicians from many different institutes in order to complete the tasks associated with the start-up of the accelerator.
