title = "Characterization of a co-axial pulse tube cryocooler applied as a current lead",
abstract = "A co-axial type pulse tube cryocooler has been fabricated which is applied as a current lead for the superconducting coil. The cryocooler consists of an outer regenerator tube enclosing and thermally insulating a central pulse tube. The connection between the pulse tube and the regenerator was realized at the cold end. This arrangement allows inserting a 16 mm diameter copper rod on the axis of a cryocooler which serves as a current lead. Characterizations of the pulse tube current leads are performed by the numerical analyses and the experiments. The Equivalent Pressure Volume (EPV) method was utilized to obtain optimized refrigeration capacity with four-valve operation mode. The paper also discusses the possibility of applying a pulse tube current lead to the superconducting coils.",
