Measurement of thermal conductivity of the supports of CUORE cryostat Original Research Article

The CUORE cryogenic system consists of a large cryogen-free cryostat cooled by five pulse tubes and one high-power specially designed dilution refrigerator. About image of lead shielding are to be cooled to below 1 K and a mass of image must be cooled to 10 mK. Several tie-rods are used to support the different parts of the experiment. We have measured the thermal conductivity below 4 K of two candidate materials for the CUORE suspensions: the Ti6Al4V alloy image and the 316LN stainless steel image.
