An automatic liquid-nitrogen filling system for multiple Ge detectors.

ABSTRACT

In order to reduce the time and effort of the daily task of refilling Dewar vessels of Ge detectors with liquid nitrogen (LN(2)), we have developed an automatic LN(2) filling system equipped with a LN(2) plant. With this system, we were freed from the work of LN(2) filling. Such an LN(2) filling system is useful for moderate-scale Ge detector arrays consisting of fewer than 20 Ge detectors.
