This RTI proposal requests funding for a small-scale helium reliquification facility dedicated to an existing cluster of cryomagnetic instruments in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. These instruments are primary tools for materials research covering a broad range of scientific topics with potential technological applications. They are heavily used by over 15 researchers, and their combined cost is well over one-million dollars, yet they now frequently sit idle for long periods because liquid helium, which is required for their operation, has become unaffordable.

该RTI提案要求为多伦多大学物理系现有的冷磁仪器集群专用的小规模氦再液化设施提供资金。 这些仪器是材料研究的主要工具，涵盖广泛的科学主题，具有潜在的技术应用。 它们被超过15名研究人员大量使用，其总成本超过100万美元，但它们现在经常长时间闲置，因为它们运行所需的液氦已经变得负担不起。
