The physical dimensions of the coldhead must be compatible with the existing NIST cryostat and the required thermal performance must be attained with an existing NIST compressor. This system will serve as a prototype for JVS systems which will be provided to National Measurement Institutes worldwide therefore any proposed coldhead must be demonstrated as robust and reliable.
