==Notes==
Here are some random useful pieces of information to know gathered mostly from emails with Dan Logan from Janis:
* The ST-100 is designed to hold and operate at <math>10^{-4}</math> Torr and the seals should hold this pressure for "several hours if not several days".
::It seems like this is not the case.
* With continuous evacuation with a turbo pump the pressure should be able to reach <math>10^{-5}</math> or <math>10^{-6}</math> Torr, the ladish gaskets on the cryostat aren't able to hold this high of a vacuum without the pump on though.
* The performance of the cryostat will be better but the pressures as low as <math>10^{-3}</math> Torr can be acceptable.
* The ST-100 should not be baked out because the window block and electrical feedthroughs are sealed using epoxy and baking out the cryostat might cause the epoxy to melt.
