Calorimeter addenda
= Calorimeter addenda
{title2=$C_a$}
<Calorimeter addenda> are the participating <heat capacity> of everything in the measured thermal assembly except the sample: platform, heater, <thermometer>, mounting material and the effective part of the leads. They depend on <temperature> and assembly details. <Calorimeter calibration> can determine them using an empty platform or a reference sample. Subtract $C_a(T)$ from the loaded assembly at matching <temperature> and applied <magnetic field>; replacing it with a constant can imitate a sample anomaly.
