Abstract
Cryogenics has always been an important part of fusion research technology. The necessity of cryogenically cooled superconducting magnets for fusion reactors is well recognized. Fusion research requires the attainment and maintenance of high vacua, since cold background gas and the presence of impurities are highly unfavorable to the maintenance of high-temperature plasma. Historically, cryogenics has played an important part in the development of vacuum technology, and vice versa.
