Yanagi PREFACE It was twenty years ago that a high field superconducting magnet using a novel pressurized supcrfluid helium cryostat was dramatically reported by a cryogenics group of CEN Grenoble at the Sixth International Cryogenic Engineering Conference in Grenoble, France. This research report verified that cryogenic systems were the key technology for the improvement of the applied superconductivity. In these twenty years, along with material development and innovation of machine operation engineering, a lot of new technologies in the field of cryogenic engineering had been developed. In the field of fusion research, high energy particle physics and space physics, long time operation of cryogenic system have been achieved. In accordance with the recent high performance of superconductivity and the tendency of research orientation to unrcachablc parameter region, quite a few big projects using superconductivity have been undertaking. NIFS symposium "Cryogenic Systems for Large Scale Superconducting Application" was planned to present operation experience of existing apparatus, to show the planning of projects which involve the construction of the cryogenic system for superconducting applications and to give new information of supcrfluid helium technology, with the limited number of specialist of the field. The symposium was held in Toki-city. where the NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science) is located, from May 27 to 29, 1996, just after the 16th International Cryogenic Engineering Conference. It was financially supported by NIFS and the Japanese-German Cooperative Science Promotion Program (Japan side sponsor organization is Japan Society for the Promotion of Science - JSPS and Germany side is Deutsche Forschungsgcmcinschaft - DFG). Total number of attendants was 97. The program of the Symposium was composed of 33 oral presentations and 14 poster presentations. The oral presentation was classified into (l)Cryogcnic Systems for Experimental Fusion Devices. (2)Tcst Facilities for Large Scale Superconducting Application. (3)Largc Scale Cryogenic System for High Energy Physics, (4)Cryogcnic Systems for Large Scale Superconducting Applications, (5)Large Helical Device, (6)Opcration Experiences and Research Works on Large Scale Cryogenic Systems, (7)Dcsign and Numerical Simulation of Cryogenic Systems. Details of the Large Hcliatl Device (LHD) was mostly presented in poster sessions at NIFS Main Hall, together with the site tour in NIFS. Since the Symposium was a single session type and limited in cryogenic systems, we could make the discussion deeper and more fruitful than in large conference. As a symposium planner, I would like to extend my hearty appreciation to all speakers, audience. NIFS staffs. JSPS and DFG.
