✦ Synopsis

A cryostat was required for low energy x-ray studies in a ~ace detector with no moving parts, or reacting jet of cryogenic fluid, and with an operating life of up to 10 hours. This paper describes the design of such a cryostat in which every unavoidable thermal leak was reduced and a high enthalpy load was realised between 77 and 90 K.
