Description
The ReStoX concept is, in itself, simple: a pressure vessel with cryopumping capability, able to safely recover and store high-pressure xenon at room temperature. Beyond this concept lie complex, site-dependent engineering challenges that influence the design with aspects such as laboratory accessibility, on-site vs. off-site construction, cooling power requirements, operational complexity and cost. This talk will discuss the baseline ReStoX concepts for SNOLAB and explore alternative approaches that could significantly lower the costs and complexity of the SNOLAB Xenon Storage.
