Physicists make a difference in space cryogenics

An evaluation is made of space cryogenics technology development challenges in whose treatment the unique abilities of physicists have been notably valuable. In addition to such broad concerns as the quantum properties of superfluid He, the basic laws of thermodynamics and entropy, and quantization of such fields as those of phonons and magnons, productive efforts have been made by physicists in the basic principles of SQUIDs, magnetic shielding due to the Meissner effect in superconductors, adiabatic demagnetization, and dilution cooling of He-3 and He-4. These contributions will be of fundamental importance to the IR Telescope for Space and Advanced X-ray Astronomical Facility, which are currently under development.
