Oxford Instruments Kelvinox Dilution Insert DIL2

DIL2 was aquired in 2006, mainly financed by the "SNF Förderungsprofessur Michel Kenzelmann". It is equipped with a weak link, allowing access to the range 1...2 K without removing the mixture.

Problems with DIL2

• The weak link was too weak, and there was no spacer on it. We have shortened the weak section and put a spacer above it.

• The gauges G1 and G2 do not work reliably. As a workaround, the (earlier unused) G3 gauge has now a connection to the beam dump.
