Abstract
The Diffuse X-ray Explorer (DIXE) is a high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic surveyor, planned to be mounted on the China Space Station. Its primary goal is to study the origin and evolution of hot baryons in the Milky Way. The Transition Edge Sensors (TES) detectors require an operating temperature below 100 mK to ensure excellent energy resolution. A two-stage Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator (ADR) is incorporated into the system to achieve this ultra-low temperature. The two-stage thermally coupled pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) and the 4He Joule-Thomson cryocooler (JTC) provide the 4 K heat sink for the ADR. This paper describes the design of the DIXE cryogenic experimental system and the operational results of cooling from 300 K to 4 K. The total input electrical power for the PTC and JTC is 604.88 W. The evaporator temperature of the JTC operates stably at 4.33 K, ensuring the proper functioning of a two-stage ADR.
