Description

The Institute of Solid State Physics (IFK) at the University of Jena has a long tradition making detectors and using low temperatures for high-sensitive measurements. An own helium liquefier with a production capacity of 20 l/h enables the development and validation larger detector sys-tems. In cooperation with the Helmholtz Institute Jena (HI-Jena) and the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) the capabilities of the Cryo Detector Lab could be extended. Large samples with a diameter of up to 350 mm can be measured at low temperatures down to 1.8 K in a wide neck bath cryostat. The institute is equipped with a magnetically and acoustically shield-ed chamber (3 m x 2 m x 2.5 m) and a laboratory (5.5 m x 3.5 m x 3 m) with high current coils which can generate defined magnetic field components or suppress a magnetic interference field with an active compensation system. Furthermore, building vibrations can be measured and ac-tively suppressed by a compensation system for pay loads up to 800 kg. This work will show the measure and testing capabilities of the Cryo Detector Lab on the ex-ample of a large Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC).
