Previous Day

Setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55/33/50
Taking Y-Be photoneutron data over weekend. Last flash at 06:55
0900 Remove Y source from source holder and put back into safe.
0905 Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 31.1/27.0/39/149 mK, Still = 1.11 K / 0.12 mbar, G1/G2 = 170/155 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.73 K / 19 mbar, Main bath = 29.3%
0915 Fill LN2 cold trap Dewar.
1020 Set DIB1 Qi/Qo threshold values to 210ADC bins each.
1025 Place Ba source on fridge. Find that the Ba source was inside the fridge shield all night (it was never put away). This means the data we took overnight had Ba and Y-Be sources present.
1027 Start 1 30min Ba series at -4/+4V with FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 1000 ending randoms, 30s flash and 25 minute cooldown before series. Trigger on DIB1 phA with threshold of 20ADC bins and DIB1 qInner&qOuter each with threshold 210 ADC bins, with 20 us pileup cut window.
1445 Start LHe transfer (17.3%).
1545 End LHe transfer (89.8%).
1620 Let pressure out of cryostat by removing stopper for about 30 seconds.
1645 Check phonon traces, all look OK
1654 Fill LN2 cold trap.
1700 Ba source back in safe. Take out Y-88 source and place in shield.
1800 Anthony started 30min Y-Be series to end at 8:00 at -4/+4V with FG=5/2/5, OG=3, with 1000 initial randoms, 1000 ending randoms, 30s flash and 25 minute cooldown before series. Trigger on DIB1 phA with threshold of 20ADC bins and DIB1 qInner&qOuter each with threshold 210 ADC bins, with 20 us pileup cut window.
