  • Lab Update - Run 76 post-mortem
    • Shunt resistances have been modified on three SQUETs with (hopefully) 4 good phonon channels each
    • Checked whether the source mover might have moved during installation; center motor can rotate pretty freely, second motor seems to stay fixed Video Clip
    • Confirmed there was no tape over the collimator hole to block alphas - put a piece on for the next run
    • Possible plan for Run 77:
      • Carson won't be available to start 2D Source Mover testing until Jan 16
      • Consider starting a run before that:
        • test new stripline tube seals, see if cryo problems are fixed
        • test whether tower wire replacements produce too much of a heat leak
        • mount the old tower thermometer using the fridge wiring, see if it works better now
        • mount the new calibrated RuOX thermometer using stripline wires
        • fix the center motor of the source mover in place, and set the second motor at some offset - test whether the position looks like we expect in data
        • could plug in the second motor so we could potentially move the source along a circular path (maybe try to measure current first in some test rig)
      • Maybe Carson and Scott could do source mover tests at the same time, with the extra motors and 3D-printed parts?
