  • Lab Update
    • Run 76 in progress
    • Improvement in LHe recovery efficiency
    • Setting up HV:
      • starting with Side1-readout
      • problems with DCRC1 on first cable like before - had to swap DCRCs again
      • set QET biases - some need to be set high to avoid strong electrothermal oscillations
      • Problem with HV - greater than a couple volts drives the TES's normal (didn't see anything like this in Run75). Need to investigate
    • Continuing to configure NaI DAQ. Experimenting with trigger windows to minimize background (threshold above radioactive background, below muons.)
      • Muon rate calculation ~ 60Hz.
  • Priority Updates
  • General Updates
    • Himangshu
      • Source mover 1st dataset :partition and delay plots for 14 and 60 keV lines from Am241 Slides
    • Shubham
      • k100sim updates and re-calculation of trigger rate: slides
      • Created a pull-request to Anthony's github repo: PR.
      • Features added by this PR: Link
