1. A refrigerator for accumulating an extremely low temperature cold, comprising:

  • a vacuum chamber;

    an external cylinder disposed in the vacuum chamber, the external cylinder enclosing an inner space;

    a first regenerator container for accumulating cold and a second regenerator container for accumulating cold which are arranged at the inner space inside of the external cylinder, the first regenerator container for accumulating a first cold generated at a first cooling stage, the second regenerator container for accumulating a second cold generated by further cooling the first cold at a second cooling stage,a mesh-like member packed in the first regenerator container for accumulating cold, andregenerator material particles packed in the second regenerator container, the regenerator material particles comprising a rare-earth metal and having an average particle size of 0.045 to 3 mm,wherein a proportion of particles having a ratio of a long diameter to a short diameter of 2 or less is 90% or more by number,a proportion of particles having a depressed portion having a length of 1/10 to ½

    of a particle circumferential length of a particle on a particle surface is 30% or more by number and wherein the depressed portion has depth of 1/10 or less of a particle diameter, and the depressed portion has channel-shape or a hole-shape.
