Previous Day

Setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55/33/50
Taking Y-Be photoneutron data overnight. Last flash at 07:20
0945 Remove Y source from source holder and put back into safe.
0950 Tower/MC(H35)/MC sensor/Cold Plate = 31.1/26.9/41/161 mK, Still = 1.32 K / 0.12 mbar, G1/G2 = 170/160 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.72 K / 19 mbar, Main bath = 67.7%
0955 Fill LN2 cold trap Dewar.
1005 Place Ba source on fridge.
1008 Check phonon traces, all look OK
will try a test series with a wider pileup rejection window: ODB / Equipment / Triggerfe2 / Settings / PileupCut (s) = 1e-4, i.e. 100 us
1010 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 20 100 us pileup cut window.
1610 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1615 Check phonon pulses. All look good. No obvious signs of low frequency noise.
1645 Place Ba source back in safe. Put strong 88-Y source in Be disk source holder.
1650 Start 15 30min Y-Be 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 150 us pileup cut window.
