Heike R2014-00 R68

First RUN since more than one year!!!

NEW

• New Switch & Relay Box for a easier and better operation of the persistent current switches of the current lines and both magnets.

• HF coax wiring for the Paddle experiment: Two Semi rigid coax cables(Type: SC-160/50-NbTi-NbTi) connecting the experiment mounted underneath the Cu-Stage with the heat sinks at the mixing chamber (Coax #5 & #6). With the help of an "extender", made of a long silver rod, the experiment is placed in the centre of the lower magnet and can be exposed to a magnetic field up to 9T.

• HF coax wiring for the Echo experiment leading from the heat sink at 4K (Coax #2 & #4) to a heat sink at the mixing chamber. The Echo Experiment is mounted on the top side of the Cu-Stage and connected with superconducting semi rigid coax cables (Type: SC-160/50-NbTi-NbTi) with this heat sink.

EXPERIMENTS

• Thermometry: Noise Thermometer and Pt-NMR Thermometer
• Paddle Experiment: Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ (M. Hempel)
• Echo Experiment: BK-7 (M. Wolter)
