Abstract
A helium cryostat with a superconducting solenoid with a length of 1.6 1 m and a mass of 140 kg, which serves as a basis of conversion electr ons spectrometer with a transport magnetic field and semiconducting de tector, is described. The LHE consumption from the cryostat with curre nt leads removed is 0.33 l LHe/h (7.8 l LHe/d). The consumption of LN2 is 0.53 l LN2/h (12.7 l LN2/d). The cryostat operates for 10.5 d afte r LHe filling. The cryostat with a build-in spectrometer is used to st udy the prompt conversion electron energy spectra from mass-identified primary fragments of actinide fission by nuclear reactor thermal neut rons.
