The Art of Cryogenics

Cryogenics is the study of low temperature interactions.

The book covers a large spectrum of experimental cases, including basic vacuum techniques, indispensable in cryogenics. Guidance in solving experimental problems and numerical examples are given, as are examples of cryogenics in such areas as underground detectors and space applications. Updated tables of low-temperature data on the subject of a rich bibliography.

Key Features include:

- Experiments described in technical detail
- Description of newest cryogenic apparatus
- Applications in multidisciplinary areas
- Data on cryogenic properties of new materials
- Current reference review
