Abstract

This paper describes the different cryogenic temperature sensors used at cryogenictemperatures down to 1 K. The characteristics of these temperature sensors have been discussedin detail with their operating range, sensitivity, and accuracy. Other properties likeinterchangeability, effect of thermal cycling, effect of ionizing radiation ( neutron or gamma ray),effect of magnetic field has also  been described.  It is extremely important   to  choose  the  righttemperature sensor for right kind of application in a specific operating environment.  This papergives an overview of some of the most widely  used  cryogenic temperature sensors.
