44. Extreme Sample Environment at ISIS Neutron Source

Oleg Kirichek (STFC)

The ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences. The popularity of neutron scattering experiments is rapidly growing due to the immense progress achieved in neutron scattering instrumentation and sample environment. Here I am going to describe briefly the neutron scattering method and explain...

43. Heat transfer at a sapphire – indium interface in the 30 mK – 300 mK temperature range

Joanna Liberadzka (Twente Technical University (NL))

Heat transfer is an essential contribution to the overall performance of cryogenic systems. The influence of the interface thermal contact is rising with decreasing temperature. We are studying the thermal performance of copper – indium – sapphire sandwich setup to achieve maximum thermal contact at temperatures well below 300 mK. Steady-state measurements with indium in normal conducting and...

42. Low temperature research topics at the Cryolab at CERN

Torsten Koettig (CERN)

For 52 years the Central Cryogenic Laboratory of CERN (Cryolab) is providing expertise and performing R&D for clients and collaborators at low temperatures. Our current research topics in the field of He II are presented: heat transport studies in confined superconducting Rutherford cable geometries, options to localize a Quench spot at superconducting radio-frequency cavity surfaces as well...

45. Research activities on cryogenic safety

Steffen Grohmann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

The talk gives an overview of current experimental and theoretical work on cryogenic safety in the frame of a collaboration between KIT and CERN. In addition, the activities to organize a working group at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is presented, which will work on a European standard on safety of liquid helium cryostats.
