  • Lab Update - Run 76 in progress
    • Investigating whether our He leak is actually a superleak, rather than a leak at the stripline elbow (or maybe a little of both).
      • nothing we've done at the elbow has changed the timing of the He-film phenomena:
        • temperature spikes begin 14-15 hours after starting circulation
        • He films affect phonon channels 54-57 hours after starting circulation
      • This time after we stop pumping on the IVC we'll leave it closed at >5K for a day, then start cooling the next day. If the problems don't start any sooner than normal, it will suggest that the leak doesn't start until the mixture is superfluid.
      • If we have a superleak we can try to fix it by tightening the MC indium seal. If that doesn't work we can try redoing that seal.
    • Progress on getting MIDAS working on CentOS
      • we are again at a deadline for cutting off our access to SL5 (currently our DAQ only works on SL5)
      • Himangshu and I worked on the problem more this weekend. Copying the old MIDAS DAQ and trying to modify it to work on CentOS
      • Progress:
        • MIDAS starts, browser interface works.
        • Can copy ODB settings, and they are persistent.
        • Can communicate with DCRCs and change settings on them.
        • Himangshu originally built everything from his own account - this can produce issues with permissions. Now he has redone it using the sudo account spa-u-cdmssoft, which was created to avoid permission issues.
      • Still to do:
        • be able to start runs (seem to be close…)
        • get pulse viewer working.
