The cryostat IronMan designed and manufactured at Avancem’s facilities, has been successfully delivered to the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc, an underground science laboratory located under the Pyrenees mountain El Tobazo. The over burden at the site provides 800 maximum meters shielding from cosmic rays and offers a low background environment for the next generation of experiments exploring the frontiers of particle and astroparticle physics.
This cryostat was made for IFCA/CSIC and it is used intensively for the characterization of CCDs
