Abstract
The TESLA project is a 500 GeV e(-)/e(+) collider composed of two 10 k m long superconducting linear accelerators. The cavities are cooled be low 2 K by superfluid helium. We propose a double-bath cooling scheme similar to the LHC one. The cavities would be in a static superfluid h elium bath maintained at 50 mbar. This bath is in turn cooled by a two phase superfluid flow at approximately 2 K. We present here a compari son of this new cooling scheme with the current one.
