Access code:
  • Lab Update
    • 1K needle valve leak check:
      • High background rate (~9e-5 mbar L/s) but still see small signal when spraying He on needle valve, with needle valve closed.
      • Applied grease and replaced o-rings. Still leaky, no improvement.
      • Yan ordered V1000-2×6 (allorings.com, 6mm ID, 10 mm OD) o-rings which might work better.
    • Turbo pump station leak:
      • Tried different Tee to check whether o-rings/Tee is leaky. No leak.
      • Connected a valve to the pressure gauge housing (thanks to Yan and Matt) and it is clearly leaky.
      • No immediate solution to replace it (cold cathode gauge). Can manage pumping pressure with a turbo pumping station.
      • Amount of exchange gas added is an issue.
  • Priority Updates
  • General Updates
    • Himangshu
