The superconducting magnets of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project must be kept at their operating temperature of 1.9 K all around the 26.7 km circumference of the machine ring. For this purpose, they are immersed in static baths of pressurized helium II, acting as heat transport medium to
