Cryogenics Projects

Our research interests are focused on key technology components in the development of milli-Kelvin cryo coolers.

Projects

50mK cooler for XMS

XMS will consist of a 50 mK cryogen free system cooling an array of transition edge sensors (TES) and associated electronics.

milli-Kelvin cryo-cooler

The world's first milli-Kelvin cryo-cooler, transforming the use of the milli-Kelvin temperature domain in the same way 4 K cryo-coolers have for the liquid helium region
