  • Lab Update - Run 76 ending
    • Warming up. Beginning shield disassembly today
    • SQUET problems:
      • recall in August, several hundred volts was suddenly applied to HV (Side2 bias)
      • last week tried reading out Side1 channels for the first time since then; found that 4 of the 6 could not be unrailed
      • Friday electrical checks during warming: the bad Side1 channels all show open SQUIDs. (There are damaged SQUIDs on each of the three SQUETs used.)
      • Assessment:
        • we may still have three SQUETs with 4 working phonon channels. They would need wirebonding work to change all the shunt resistances to 6.7 mOhm
    • Leak checks: couldn't see leaks to the IVC from either the dilution unit or the stripline elbow, at around 10K. But the background signal was high.
    • Plan to shut down and disassemble NaI array today
