2022 KEK Research Technical Staff Internship (Work Experience) was held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mechanical Engineering Center held the \"Work Experience of Processing Technology Supporting World-Leading Experiments\" on September 5 and 6, 2022. A total of six participants, three each, experienced hermetic welding of a vacuum flange, one of the accelerator components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the students practice welding. It was difficult to get it right the first time, but with one-on-one instruction and repeated practice, they were able to weld well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 7, the Radiation Science Center held the \"Radiation Measurement Experience to Support KEK's Experiments --- Experiments on Radiation Monitors Used in the Centralized Radiation Monitoring System ---\" and four participants joined the event. They practiced inspection and calibration of radiation monitors, installed these monitors, and then checked the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an online work experience course, \"Identification and Quantification of Radionuclides Produced by Accelerators --- Measurement of Radioactivity Produced by Accelerator Operation ---\" was held on August 31. Four students participated in this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cryogenics Science Center held an online work experience course, \"Technology behind Superconductivity --- Turning Helium into Liquid ---\" on August 31, and two participants joined the course. The course included an explanation of the helium liquefaction mechanism using images and flow diagrams, a live video tour of the facility, and hands-on practice in reading and drawing flow diagrams necessary for designing and managing high-pressure gas facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KEK conducts internship programs every September and February. Applications for the next round are expected to open around December. For details, please visit the KEK Technical Division website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Applications for the internship program to be held in February 2023 are now being accepted (added on 2022.12.15).
