VERY-LOW-TEMPERATURE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYMERIC SUPPORTS FOR MASSIVE CRYOGENIC DETECTORS

摘要

Very-low-temperature thermal conductivities of 33 polymers are reported in the form k(T) = α·T~n as database for the choice of the most suitable support material for massive cryogenic detectors. For these materials, the exponent n ranges between ~ 0.5 and 2.4 and, at fixed temperature, k spans over almost two order of magnitude.
