✦ Synopsis

In the last session, new and developing applications were covered in six presentations. The first of these was on the design details and experimental evaluation of superconducting dipole magnet cryostats for the proposed Superconducting Super Collider high energy physics research facility, which will require one of the major cryogenic system undertakings of the next decade. The remaining presentations included the neutron-moderator system designed and successfully operated at Los Alamos, techniques for forming liquid and solid fuel layers in direct-drive laser fusion capsules, an evaluation of cryogenic propellant depot options for orbital transfer vehicles, a consideration of closed-cycle helium refrigerators for recondensation of helium and nitrogen in mobile resonance imaging superconducting magnets, and the design, fabrication and testing of a complex beryllium cryostat for the temperature range 10--30 K.
