Title: NIST’s 100mm Orange Cryostat: A Versatile Tool for Neutron Research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a 100mm Orange Cryostat available for use at the NCNR (NIST Center for Neutron Research). Originally designed for the decommissioned FCS instrument, this cryostat has been modified to accommodate a wider range of instruments.
The 100mm cryostat is particularly useful for handling large samples or special setups. It has been successfully used in various configurations, including gas handling, transport measurements, and high-pressure experiments. However, any special setups should be discussed with the sample environment staff before scheduling to ensure safe and efficient use of the cryostat.
