This document outlines the essential mechanical considerations for the design of an EDM cryostat. It covers various aspects, including vibration management for a large roots blower system, evaluating the selection of cold heads versus liquefiers, and methods for helium purification. The plan discusses polarization requirements for 3He injection, assembly challenges related to cesium coating, collimator and neutron guide design, and magnetic shielding. Furthermore, it details the considerations for mechanical support and safety concerning high-voltage components and cryogenic environments.
