Improvement on the Magnetic Shielding for the XRISM/Resolve Adiabatic Demagnetization RefrigeratorWe report modeling, fabrication, cryogenic tensile testing, and magnetic field measurements of a shield around an adiabatic demagnetization stage (ADR) built for the XRISM/Resolve instrument. During testing of a near-identical stage built for Astro-H, a previous spaceflight mission, it was determined that the magnet at full current generated a field external to the shield that violated the maximum dipole-moment requirement of the spacecraft. In addition, there was an interference with the detector assembly nearby when the magnet was greater than 85% of it's typical maximum current. Starting with the Astro-H shield design, we performed a parametric study that increased the thickness of the shield in critical regions. This calculation proceeded until the magnetic field satisfied the estimated maximum field allowed at the detector array based upon the Astro-H measurements. We also performed a detailed measurement of the field generated by the ADR stage at full current as a function of relative angle between the magnet axis and a series of flux-gate magnetometers. Details and results from the calculation and subsequent measurement will be presented.
