Abstract
A single-stage closed-cycle helium gas cryogenerator, capable of cooling between 77 K and 300 K, has been installed on the 4-circle neutron diffractometer at CIRUS. The cryo-tip assembly has been incorporated directly on the ϕ-circle of the full-circle crystal orienter in place of the goniometer head used in room temperature experiments. The salient features of this low-temperature attachment and its performance are discussed.
