A two-stage nuclear demagnetization refrigerator with large cooling capacity has been constructed and sucessfully operated. The first stage consists of 11 moles of the Van Vleck paramagnet PrNi/sub 5/ in an initial field of 6 T, and the second stage consists effectively of 19 moles of copper in an initial field of 7.6 T. The minimum temperature as measured with pulsed platinum NMR is 27 ..mu..K, the lowest ever obtained in a low-field experimental region.
