| 0025 | Fill N2 cold trap full. |
| | Start cryocleaning mixture through nitrogen cold trap 2. |
| 1020 | Cleaned Cricket's bowl. |
| 1030 | Fed Cricket 3 pellets. |
| 1040 | Filled LN2 cold trap. |
| 1050 | Turn on scroll pump. Begin evacuating N2 exchange gas. Mixing chamber: 78.6 K. |
| | Opened turbo pump, then isolated scroll pump when pressure read 3E-2 mbar. |
| 1530 | Fed Cricket 4 pellets. |
| 1705 | Background helium leak rate 9.8E-10 mbar l/s. Start blowing nitrogen out of main bath. |
| 1845 | Nitrogen is out of main bath. Helium leak rate jumped to around 1E-6 mbar l/s, and then started increasing slowly. It is currently at 1.2E-5 mbar l/s. It would appear as though there is a leak in the bottom flange. Will confirm once rubber hose has gone limp and main bath has been sealed off and evacuated. |
| 1850 | Evacuate main bath. Helium leak rate has increased to 1.5E-5 mbar l/s and is holding steady. |
| 1935 | Helium leak rate has fallen to 5.2E-8 mbar l/s. Stop evacuating main bath and overpressurise with helium gas. Helium leak rate rises to 1.7E-4 mbar l/s. |
| 2240 | IVC pressure has risen to 0.022 mbar. Remove helium recovery hose and attach ping-pong ball to prevent overpressurisation of main bath during warm up. Open valve to turbo pump to evacuate IVC for a few seconds. Isolate turbo pump. |
