Abstract

We present a design for a piezoelectric transducer holder for use at low temperatures, which is easily constructed and assembled. Improved acoustic signals with "ringing" eliminated were reliably obtained. The standard problems of demountability, electrical integrity, and leak tightness in the presence of liquid helium at moderate pressures were resolved.
