Abstract Abstract: The cryogenic ground support equipment
(CGSE) is an important part of Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02
(AMS-02) experiment which is a particle physics experiment. CGSE is
used to cool down the superconducting magnet of AMS-02 to its
operating temperature of 1.8 K and to fill the magnet helium tank
with superfluid helium. This paper introduces the control system of
CGSE and presents the performance of the system.
