observatories include cryogenically cooled 200 kg test mass
mirrors suspended from pendulums and made of a crystalline
material such as crystalline silicon. During operation of
the observatories, these mirrors undergo heating due to the
absorption of laser radiation of up to a watt. Low noise
cooling techniques need to be developed. Low-pressure helium
exchange gas at 5 K might contribute to the challenging
task. Here, we report the measurement of the helium
accommodation coefficient $\alpha(11\,\mathrm{K} \lt T \lt
30\,\mathrm{K})$, which is the probability that a helium
atom thermalises with a surface at a given temperature when
reflected from it. We find $\alpha(T) \gt 0.7$ for
temperatures ${\lt}20$ K, which increases the cooling power
compared to recently used assumptions. The idea of free
molecular flow helium gas cooling is thus supported and
might find application in some observatory concepts.},
