Moshe Ben Shalom - Tel Aviv University
The DRY ICE 1.5K dry system, 8T magnet with a He3 insert, was installed in our lab in November 2019.
While the supply date was delayed by a couple of months, so far we are very happy with the system performance and ICE support.
The system is compact, relatively easy to use, meets all the requested specs, and seems to be reliable to date.
Also, I have only warm words for the engineering and design team in ICE, which were very professional and communicative during the manufacturing process.
This was particularly important since we requested a two-axes rotation (other than testing the specs) as it was not required, but the design and testing looks good. The noise level (vibration), magnet, temperature control, and wiring work perfectly as requested.
Lastly, the installation and training(by chris) was perfect, and the system support since then (Karl, Andi, Sara) are great.
We receive a fast and informative response for every question / problem, which far from trivial with other cryo companies these days.
Los ALamos National Laboratory
The Los Alamos National Laboratory operates a VTI with a 7T split pair magnet. This system has two 1.5K probe inserts as well as a Helium 3 insert.
The system achieved a base temperature of 1.5K on both probes and a base temperature of 295mK on the Helium 3 insert. The high access 7T split pair magnet allows for a wide range of scattering angles, to suit your neutron beam.
