Cryogenics Projects
The Magnet Lab's Cryogenics group does research and development to advance the field and support technology.
Grid Turbulence Experiment
A systematic study of the decay of quantum turbulence in the wake of a towed mesh grid.
Liquid Helium Drop Levitation Experiment
A planned study of the evolution of the quantized vortex tangle in a levitated liquid helium droplet.
Multi-layer Insulation Thermal Conductivity Experiment
Investigation of the performance of multi-layer insulation for space-based applications.
Particle Tracking Velocimetry Experiment
A study of thermally and mechanically generated turbulence in He II using traditional velocimetry techniques.
Sudden Catastrophic Loss of Vacuum
In this experiment we simulate the sudden loss of vacuum inside a liquid helium cooled superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity string.
Thermal Counterflow Experiment
A systematic study of the normal fluid motion and quantized vortex line density in steady-state and decaying thermal counterflow in He II.
