No change during the year long operation Base temperature: 25 mk Limited by thermal boundary resistance inside pill Recycle time: 15 hours (Required 4 hours) Limited by superconducting heat switch Limited by maximum heat load to envisaged 4 K J-T cooler (peak load < 5 mw) Hold time at 50 mk with 1 µw: 10 hours (Required 24 hours) Limited by heat load from superconducting lead heat switch Hold time at 30 mk: 2.2 hours Thermal stability at 50 mk: ± 8 µk Limited by thermometer readout electronics 11
12 Improvements & new systems EM system on loan to MSSL for continued technology development (e.g. heat switches) Mathematical thermal model identified main area affecting performance - Superconducting heat switch. New heat switch developed magnetoresistive (MR) heat switch solid state switch Qualification project just started. Improvement in performance demonstrated with lab MR switch. Purity of material not high enough to obtain full performance. With required purity, performance New switch in EM ADR will exceed requirement. 12
13 IXO development (X-ray micro-calorimeter spectrometer.) IXO reduction in stray magnetic field enables reduced magnet coils significant mass saving (2 magnet coils rather then 10). No cold finger enables splitting of cooler stages and thus optimization. significant mass saving. Can use existing Kevlar suspension system as EM system. Same cooling stages as EM system. Magnet wire/manufacture same as EM system. Same heat switches as EM system (2 K operation) or with MR heat switch for 4 K operation. 13
