Abstract
A facility is disclosed for cooling a detection device. In at least one embodiment, the facility includes at least one first cooling unit, through which a thermal contact to the detection device is able to be established and through which heat arising during operation of the detection device is able to be removed; and at least one second cooling unit, which is arranged so that heat from the environment of the detection device can be discharged through it. In at least one embodiment, this has the advantage of largely shielding the first cooling unit from incident heat which allows the detection device to be efficiently cooled.
