摘要:
下一代引力波天文台预计将使用低温冷却的、摆悬挂的200 kg测试质量镜,该镜由晶体硅等晶体材料制成。在天文台运行期间,这些镜由于吸收高达一瓦特的激光辐射而受热。需要开发低噪声冷却技术。5 K下的低压氦交换气体可能有助于完成这一具有挑战性的任务。在这里,我们报告了氦适应系数$α(11\\,\mathrm{K}<T< 30\\,\mathrm{K})$的测量结果,该系数是氦原子在给定温度下与表面热化并从其反射时的概率。我们发现,当温度 < 20 K时,$α(T) > 0.7$,与最近使用的假设相比,这增加了冷却功率。因此,自由分子流氦气冷却的想法得到了支持,并可能在某些天文台概念中得到应用。
英文摘要:
Next-generation gravitational wave observatories are expected to use cryogenically cooled, pendulum-suspended 200 kg test mass mirrors from a crystalline material such as crystalline silicon. During operation of the observatories, these mirrors undergo heating due to the absorption of laser radiation of up to a watt. Low noise cooling techniques need to be developed. Low-pressure helium exchange gas at 5 K might contribute to the challenging task. Here, we report the measurement of the helium accommodation coefficient $α(11\,\mathrm{K}<T< 30\,\mathrm{K})$, which is the probability that a helium atom thermalises with a surface at a given temperature, when reflected from it. We find $α(T) > 0.7$ for temperatures < 20 K, which increases the cooling power compared to recently used assumptions. The idea of free molecular flow helium gas cooling is thus supported and might find application in some observatory concepts.
