Abstract
A vertically compact cryostat includes a housing 2 having a cylindrical lower chamber 3a containing a superconducting coil 1 and a contiguous, larger diameter, overhanging upper chamber 3b serving as a liquid helium reservoir. An annular liquid nitrogen tank 15 surrounds the lower chamber and underlies the upper chamber overhang to thermally insulate the helium and minimize the evaporation thereof. The assembly is completed by a metallic thermal shield 17 attached to the tank and enclosing the housing, and a vacuum vessel surrounding the tank and shield.
