Ic Probe

The purpose of this project is to design a probe that tests superconducting samples at very low temperatures while conserving as much of coolant (liquid helium) as possible.  This will be done by identifying all of the major heat leaks in the system and eliminating or dampening them.  Heat transfer will also be looked at, and ways to hinder the heat transfer from the high temperature of ambient air relative to the near absolute zero conditions at the site of the samples.
