摘要
The sensitivity of an overlapped tube cryogenic current comparator (CCC), coupled to a SQUID by means of a flux transformer, is calculated and compared with measurements. Conditions for optimal coupling between the CCC and the SQUID are derived. Based on these, an optimal CCC for precision measurements of very small currents in the nanoampere range has been designed. The paper describes the construction and testing of some parts of the system. An essential element is a home-made de SQUID with low current noise and low inductance input coil equal to that of the CCC overlapped shield, which we use as sensing coil.
