In this closing summary, I'm going to present an outsider's view of what we've heard for the past two days. The reason it's an outsider's view is that given Elie Track's original list of participants, I'm neither a maker nor a user of cryocoolers and I'm not in the government, so I'm clearly on the outside. The points that I have picked to discuss today came to mind during this workshop as being important: The need for small refrigerators, cost versus reliability, price versus volume, pulse tube progress, production line cost versus year, technology drivers, and notable quotations.
