Squid magnetivity having a totally enclosing electromagnetic shield with a predeterminded sheet resistance for low noise

摘要

A shielding sleeve (19) for SQUID-magnetometers which serves to shield from electromagnetic interference fields, consists of an electrically conductive shielding material so as to obtain adequate RF shielding in conjunction with a low noise contribution, completely envelops a non-shielding cryostat (10), has a predetermined sheet resistance and consists of at least one layer of the shielding material in order to avoid an increase of the magnetometer overall noise.
