Abstract

We represent the results of studies on noise-generating sources in glass-fibers reinforced plastic (G-FRP) Dewars as the provision units of operation environment for Superconducting Quantum Interference Detectors (SQUID). Techniques of noise suppression to a level admissible in up-date biomagnetic investigations are proposed. Novel concepts of combined thermal radiation shield and low-magnetic FRP structures reduce the level of proper noise for such Dewars to be ∼5 fT/Hz1/2. Detailed studies on penetrating of gaseous helium are undertaken for various composited materials of Dewar parts. The developed combined FRP structures for Dewar necks demonstrated that diffusion coefficient of gaseous helium can be lowered by 30−100 times in comparison with that for traditional FRP materials.
