Preliminary design of the new Dilution Refrigerator
General considerations
• Low temperature (T=300mK) and high cooling power (Q=75-100mW)
• Optimization by a careful calculation: - Heat exchangers - Pressure drop in the pumping lines - Condensation of the mixture - Amount of 3He and 4He gas needed - Volumes of all parts inside the DR (separator, evaporator, still) and also pumps and lines - Produce new mixing chamber

Heat Exchangers (HE)
Design of the HE is of major importance. The important parameters are: 1. Small volume to reach the equilibrium temperature very fast 2. Small thermal resistance between the streams to get good temperature equilibrium between them
Imperfections and impurities can influence the transport of heat
Thermal boundary resistance between helium and the HE material at T<1K Kapitza resistance ~ T3

Beam Stabilization for PV experiments
18Patricia Aguar Bartolome - PAVI'14
Requirements for the PV experiment at MESA
17/07/2014
• P2 expected physics asymmetry < 50 ppb
• Beam energy ~ 150 MeV (external beam)
• DPB/PB ≤ 0.5%
• Beam quality:
• Beam must be stabilized (DAi 0)
• Helicity correlations must be suppressed (Ai 0)
• Beam parameters are correlated with helicity Ai
• Noise on beam parameters (helicity un-correlated) DAi

Beam Stabilization
20Patricia Aguar Bartolome - PAVI'14
Principle of beam stabilization
17/07/2014
• Cavity monitors measure beam position (XYMOs)
• Steering magnets correct beam direction (WEDLs)
![Page 21: Patricia Aguar Bartolomé , Kurt Aulenbacher , Valery Tioukin , Jürgen Diefenbach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568161f7550346895dd2251d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Beam Stabilization
21Patricia Aguar Bartolome - PAVI'14
Beam tests with solenoid
• Use an available 3T superconducting solenoid• Gain experience steering <200 MeV beam through a superconducting solenoid• Operate beam position/angle stabilization across the solenoid
• Most realistic test of polarimetry+beam stabilization for P2 possible before MESA is in operation
17/07/2014
![Page 22: Patricia Aguar Bartolomé , Kurt Aulenbacher , Valery Tioukin , Jürgen Diefenbach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568161f7550346895dd2251d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Summary/Outlook• PV electron scattering experiments at MESA are planned systematic accuracy of < 0.5% for the beam polaization measurements
• Atomic Hydrogen gas, stored in a ultra-cold magnetic trap can provide this accuracy
• A solenoid and a dilution refrigerator were shipped from the University of Virginia to Mainz
• New cooling down setup of the solenoid and new DR design and production is in progress
• Production of a new mixing chamber and a atomic hydrogen dissociator is also required
• Beam stabilization test is planned within the next year

Gas Lifetime in the CellLoss of hydrogen atoms from the cell due to:
• Thermal escape through the magnetic field gradient dominates at T > 0.55 K • Recombination in the gas volume negligible up to densities of ~1017 cm-3
• Recombination in the cell surface constant feeding the cell with atomic hydrogen
