Title: NIST’s HFBS Orange Cryostat: A Specialized Tool for Neutron Scattering Research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a specialized cryostat called the HFBS Orange Cryostat, designed specifically for use with the HFBS instrument at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). This cryostat features a unique tail set that fits into the HFBS pit and a modified body with a large flange to support its weight. The HFBS Orange Cryostat has a 50mm sample well diameter and is capable of operating in the standard setup.
However, when using the cryostat in special setups, such as gas handling, transport measurements, or high pressure, its capabilities may change. Despite this, many special setups have been successfully used with the HFBS Orange Cryostat. It is crucial to discuss any special setups with the sample environment staff before being scheduled to ensure a smooth and successful operation.
