Fully Automatic Dilution Refrigerator System for the Muon Beamline

System: Fully Automatic Dilution Refrigerator System for the Muon Beamline

Customer: Rutherford Appleton Labs, UK

Type: Wet 1.5K Beamline Cryostat

Temperature Range: 15mK - 420K

The ISIS facility operates a VTI with a 70mm dilution refrigerator insert. This customised system was designed to be easily transported around the ISIS facility and allow fast turnaround mK experiments.

It also allowed experiments from the mK range to 300K within the same cryostat. It also had complex experimental wiring added and achieved the best base temperature and cooling power within such a compact design.
