Run diary

1037 Fill N2 cold trap, stop run at 07100731_0111_F0086, put Ba-133 source back to safe, ground detector
Tower temperature in the past 5 hours
Temperature jump is due to detector bias change from 3V to 0V
1744 Tower temperature: 36.6 mK; still=4.56kΩ; cold plate=17.3kΩ; MC resistor=83.9kΩ; He gas meter:072600; He consumption rate: ~1%/hour, pumping the dewar before the run seem to help a lot.
Tower temperature in the past 5 hours
10 hour IGH history
IGH at 1750
ILM at 1750
1808 Warm up the fridge naturally:
Close 1K pot needle valve, close 1K pot speedivalve, stop 1K pot. Switch 1K pot pump exhaust from recovery to exhaust.
Open V9, close V13A, open V5, pump mixture out of the fridge from both ends
1835 Close V12A when G1 reaches 0.0 mbar

Overnight Ba-133 and Am-241 run 07100731_0111

Approximately 8 hour run to obtain deposited energy spectrum and check background neutron rate from overnight Am-241 run.
