Achievements of CLIO cryogenicsCryocooler system with sub-m vibration
2nd V.R.Stage -> Heat LinkAmplitude ≃ 50 nm
Cold head -> Cryostat ≈ Seismic background
Achievements of CLIO cryogenicsVibration at 300K stage
• Red– PT Cryocooler:ON– Vacuum Pump :ON
• Blue– PT Cryocooler :OFF– Vaccuum Pump :OFF
• Cryocooler operation does not degrade seismic background at 300K stage.

Heat transfer in cryogenic GW detector
• Ultra-high vacuum– Conduction through solid
• Compatibility with vibration isolation– Large conductance for heat flow– Small conduction for mechanical vibration
• Small mechanical loss for mirror support
Mirror Support : large , small mechanical loss, large strengthFrom SPI to Cryocooler : large , small Young’s modulus From SAS to Platform : small , large strength
Material selection:Sapphire
• Sapphire is the only candidate for mirror support• Size effect for thin rod

Material selection:amorphous metal
• SAS-Suspension platform
• Temperature gradient (300K-14K)
• Experience in the cryogenic resonant detector (60Hz)
Why cryocooler
• Intermittent charge• Variation of temperature
distribution• Transportation of liquid• Handling of evaporated
gas• Potential danger in deep
tunnel• Boiling noise• Liquefaction facilities
• Stationary operation• Stable distribution of
temperature• Electricity and cooling
water• Maintenance• Mechanical vibration• Cooling power
