Heike R2012-09 R67

NEW

• Renewed and improved noise thermometer.
• The wiring for four Double-Channel-Squids is installed.
• Two more stainless steel Coax-Cables are installed with their own port at room-temperature. The are numbered #5 and #6. Up to now they end at the mixing chamber and are connected to each other.
• Two semi-rigid coax-cables were installed, too.
• Filter-boxes I, II and VI were improved by adding a second coil at the input (cryo-end) of the filter circuit. The coils were manufactured by Würth Electronik, Part No. 744221, 2000$\mu$H; 600mA; 0.42${\Omega }$

TEST

• Testing new noise thermometer ...
