Scope
• LNG Membrane cryostat is an European technology.
• CERN has now a frame contract with the French firm holding the main IP.
• The support structure requires many mechanical items (beams, flanges,
plates, …) easely available in Europe, which can also be prefabricated.
• Europe with ICARUS and ATLAS has the main knowledge of LAr cryogenic
technologies. Several firms available in Europe and interested.

Scope
• CERN is doing the final design of the cryostats, in contact with the LNG
industrial community. We are constructing large prototypes (-> ProtoDUNEs).
• CERN has accepted to finance the first cryostat construction.
• We have the opportunity to build a consortium with several FAs for cryostat
number 2. Several EU firms can be involved.
• There are plenty of opportunities to participate in the engineering of the
cryostats, in particular for all the penetrations to the liquid.
• Same for the LAr cryogenics. We could effectively use the EU knowledge

and
market.
In practice:
- We need to engineer an European in-kind for the second cryostat:
- involve European firms in the various procurements
- more engineering effort (distributed also
outside CERN)
- Prepare the installation scenario (technical
teams, QA teams, ….)
- All this can start with teh first cryostat
- We need to engineer an European in-kind for LAR cryogenics:
- involve European firms
- We need to strength the CERN cryogenics group
- Distribute the engineering design work also outside CERN
- Work out the scenarios for installation and commissioning
