The Ieti Cryostat
The Ieti cryostat is located in the HallC of the deep underground Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (L'Aquila, Italy). With a cooling power of about 0.2 mW at 100 mK, it can reach a base temperature as low as 6 mK.
Ieti was built starting from a commercialy available Cryomech pulse-tube refrigerator and from a Leiden Cryogenics dilution unit. Its main features are:
- pulse-tube cooling power of about 30 W at 55 K on the first stage, and 0.7 W at 4.2 K on the second stage
- dilution unit cooling power of about 500 μW at 120 mK with a 3He flow of 10−3 mol/s
- experimental space below the mixing chamber plate: 8000/5500 cc (without/with lead shield)
Among the active collaborations, we list the SQMS center and the COLD project funded by a PRIN of the Italian Research Minister, the CUPID experiment, and ....
