| 0914 | IVC P=3.4e-4mbar. It has been here for ~ 12 hours. Temperature has been at 4.2K. Add 20mW to the MC to warm up the tower. MC temperature went up to 4.5K. |
| 0922 | Close IVC, pumping station pressure drops to 4.7e-7mbar. Pump is fine. Tighten all the wing nuts, pressure is still at 3.4e-4mbar. |
| 0923 | 1K pot speedivalve was shut very tight, but the temperature was 4.55K. Not sure if this is from the exchange gas cooling or the speedivalve is demaged. MC temperature starts to drop from 4.5K. Cooling from pumping liquid He? |
| 1208 | IVC pressure 3.4e-4mbar. Isolate pumping station. |
| 1233 | IVC Pressure 3.4e-2mbar. MC X12004 dropped from 4.53K to 4.50K. Where is the cooling power from? There might be a leak. |
| 1237 | Open the pumping station again. |
| 1321 | IVC P=3.4e-4mbar. MC X12004=4.53K. |
| 1330 | Can not pump the IVC down below 3.4e-4mbar. I'll go ahead and condense the mixture and see what will happen. |
| 1334 | Start 1K pot, start condensing mixture. |
| 1419 | Stop 1K pot. 1K pot temperature went up to 2.7K. I don't think this is going to work. |
| 1545 | Warm up. Bubble helium into main bath to aid evaporation. |
| 1905 | Lower dewar. Warm up IVC overnight. |
| 1915 | Fill N2 cold trap full. |
