UIUC Test System(Beck, Chandler, Hertzog, Kammel, Newman, Peng, Sharp, Williamson, Yoder;

Blackburn, Kenyon, Thorsland)

Goal: Provide cooled environment to test experiment components at operating temperature

- ½ scale cells- ¼ scale magnet assemblies

• Two stage cooling- pumped L4He cools to T = 1.3 K,

liquifies 3He- pumped L3He cools to T < 0.5 K- experimental “platform” on L3He

vessel- main advantage is short

turnaround time

3He gas storage

LHe Dewar


3He Refrigerator: LHe Vessels

3He gas storage

L4He pot (1.3 K)

L3He pot (0.5 K)

Vacuum flange


- maximum 6 h at 0.5 K – valve on turbo pump?- replacing instrumentation leads with superconductor to reduce heat leak- preparing for first cooldown with glass cell- SQUID noise test?

II. Glassware and holding field for cryostat- start with simple double cell system to

reproduce Duke 4 K results

- 5 G holding field with minimum gradients (Hayden design)

- 13 coils: uniform field (B21/2/B10-4

- volume ~ 7 cm dia x 2.8 m

- completing coil shunts

III. Circulating system- a la Candela, Hayden & Nacher- force 3He to circulate past pumping

cell- aid entrainment of 3He into L4He

with HEVAC effect

- detailed model developed

- measure relaxation- test SQUID pickup with very low

concentrations?

Dressed Spins: Principle

• interacting system of magnetic moment and photons- effective moment is reduced (“dressed”)- precession rate is reduced depending on “bare” magnetic

moment

→ field for rf = 2*1kHz is 0.41 G


Dressed Spins: Practice• use cos coils for both

B0 and Brf

- use 2 opposed cos coils for Brf

- reduces power dissipatedin ferromagnetic shield

- “rf ” frequency- because for small

changes in B0, E ~ (0/rf)2 0,

→ rf ~ 100 0, or rf ~ 2 1 kHz

- also use Brf coil for /2 pulse
