Update of the injection test 06/2007 nEDM H. Gao, M. Busch, Q.Ye,T. Mestler, X. Qian, W. Zheng, X. Zhu Duke University And others in nEDM collaboration
Outline • Magnets system • collection reservoir • Pyrex Cell design • Cs coating • monitoring 3He-4He mixture • Design of Pulsed NMR system
Superconducting Magnets • Tri-coils and solenoid coils • 20G,spin rotation of 45 deg. • 1.2KG, holding field for NMR • Tri-coil • A bath of liquid He • Cooling can built by MIT • June, by Cryomagnetics • Solenoid coil (Cu:NbTi) • Conductive cooled by Al6061 mandrel • June, by AMI Solenoid coil Tri-coil --Caltech
Power supply for superconducting solenoid • A Kepco Power supply with quench protection • Cost reduced by a factor of 10 • Power supply from Superconducting magnet company is an overkill, too expensive • Pure inductive load, • ~1400V spike voltage at quenching
New design of collection reservoir • Glass to metal adaptor • Glass joint with kapton O-ring is hard to seal • A separated bottom cell • Closer to final test. • Solenoid coil for pNMR is applicable • Instead of side coil • Smaller sample size • Longer T2: ~5.5ms pre-filled 4He NMR solenoid Probe coil Bottem cell forpNMR
Cell inner Surface treatment at room temperature • Cs coating reduces wall depolarization effect • Cs Azide Rod moves down into top/bottom cell • heating Cs Azide (CsN3) rod • Cs moves straightly in vacuum • No shadow area Cs Azide rod
3He-4He mixture • temperature and pressure measurements provide valuable information • 3He vapor concentration X : • 3He liquid concentration Xliq , W/k=1.54 Kelvin • Applicable at equilibrium state P.J. Nacher, J low Temp. Phys V97, p417,1994 • ~10 temperature sensors will be installed • Ruthenium Oxide RTDs from Lakeshore
Polarization measurmnet • Plused NMR • Resonance frequency at 3.89MHz • Very low density of 3He: 1014atoms/cc • Very good signal to noise ratio • Must Push what is possible for pNMR • Most helpful to have squids detector • Will squids work without magnetic shielding?
Schematic of pNMR probe Apollo console from NCSU • Signal in the probe coil • >160V during RF transmitter • ~1uV NMR signal of FID RF amp Inside dewar
pNMR : tank circuit • Tank circuit: • Probe Coil at resonance • Inductance: 32uH with 40 turns • Tunable capacitor • non magnetic • low temperature • High voltage • piston trimmer
Resonance tuning inside dewar • Piston trimmer close to probe coil • Very small signal: 1nV/loop • the circulating current does not need to go through the coax • Piston trimmer capacitor ordered • 5~120pF C (pF) Number of turns
