Abstract
The sensitivity of an overlapped-tube cryogenic current comparator (CCC) has been calculated including the effect of an external shield. Dimensions of the shield, tube and pick-up coil can be optimised to give maximum sensitivity. Improvements in sensitivity by a factor of two or three are possible for a typical design.
