Purpose of the measurement Final goal measure the thermal conductivity of Moltech and INPEX sapphire rods with nail head. Near goal measure thermal conductivity of polished Photoran’s sapphire rods near peak temperature to confirm the purity of sapphire rods is well or not. 2012/8/8KAGRA Cryogenic Payload Meeting3

Result 2012/8/8KAGRA Cryogenic Payload Meeting6 This time, I take three data near 30K.

Discussion Error bars uncertainty of offset voltage of thermometer Peak’s shape If the offset voltage of thermometer does not depend on temperature, the shape of peak of thermal conductivity is same as the real peak. 2012/8/8KAGRA Cryogenic Payload Meeting7

Summary I measure thermal conductivity near 30K The result has too large error bars because of the offset voltage of the temperature sensor. In this measurement, I do not confirm the purity of sapphire rod is well or not. So, I need to measure thermal conductivity of sapphire rod again near 30K. 2012/8/8KAGRA Cryogenic Payload Meeting8
