A 10 Kelvin Magnet for Space-Flight ADRsFuture NASA missions will include detectors cooled by adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADRs) coupled with mechanical cryocoolers. A lightweight, low-current 10 Kelvin magnet would allow the interface between these devices to be at temperatures as high as 10 Kelvin, adding flexibility to the instrument design. We report on the testing of a standard-technology Nb3Sn magnet and the development of a lightweight, low-current 10 Kelvin magnet. We also discuss the outlook for flying a 10 Kelvin magnet as part of an ADR system.
