Description
Together with Maybell Quantum, we are designing a low-vibration dilution refrigerator with a large and modular sample area. This fridge will be installed on the Mines campus and is a first step towards the Colorado Underground Research Institute (CURIE). At CURIE, the muon flux is 500x suppressed, and we will have low $-$ and in-situ characterized $-$ vibration, EMI disturbances, and high temperature stability. We aim to deploy STJs on campus during Fall 2025 and underground by 2027. This presentation will discuss current fridge designs, magnetic shielding, and plans for the upcoming years.
