ViMA -- the spinning rotor gauge to measure the viscosity of tritium between 77 and 300 K

Abstract

Experimental values for the viscosity of the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium (T2) are currently unavailable in literature. The value of this material property over a wide temperature range is of interest for applications in the field of fusion, neutrino physics, as well as to test ab initio calculations. As a radioactive gas, tritium requires careful experiment design to ensure safe and environmental contamination free measurements. In this contribution, we present a spinning rotor gauge based, tritium compatible design of a gas viscosity measurement apparatus (ViMA) capable of covering the temperature range from 80 K to 300 K.
