## Description

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of a variable temperature cryostat system, for carrying out experiments in condensed matter physics\. The cryostat should be able to maintain any temperature between 1\.8 and 300 K\. Extra points will be awarded for guaranteed temperatures below 1\.8 K\. The cryostat system should contain a superconducting magnet that can apply fields of up to 12 T, of either polarity\. There should be a radiation shield between the sample space and the magnet, so that the magnet remains superconducting and able to apply a field of 12 T even when the sample space is held at a temperature of 300 K; this radiation shield is in general the defining feature of a variable temperature system\. The tenderer should supply a power supply for this magnet\. Further information can be found within the ITT document\.
