| | Overnight: pumping IVC, both sides, with scroll pump |
| 0900 | IVC pumping pressure 3.4 E-3 mbar. Valve out pump: IVC pressure = 10 E-3 mbar. |
| 0910 | Turn on leak detector |
| 0920 | Electrical check at breakout box, all still looks OK |
| 0920 | Start pumping IVC with turbo pump |
| 0935 | IVC pumping pressure 86 E-6 mbar |
| 0945 | LD on IVC, background 14 pbarL/s |
| 0955 | Leak check all connections at top of fridge and IVC seals above top of mini cleanroom - no leaks seen. |
| 1000 | Pump on IVC with turbo again |
| 1100 | Vacuum inside MB and raise MB |
| 1120 | IVC pumping pressure 54 E-6mbar |
| 1200 | After much finagling, finally get Dewar in place. New procedure: place and tighten smallest dewar screws first in order to get alignment and tilt correct. Then big screws, then middle screws. Once all are in place, tighten all from biggest to smallest. After this coming run, we need to address the tilt and off-center nature of the dewar. It's gotten out of hand. |
| 1210 | Fill LN2 cold trap full. |
| 1415 | IVC pumping pressure = 46 E-6mbar. Valve out pump, IVC pressure = 6.3 E-3 mbar. |
| | IVC pressure kinda high, I think we'll keep pumping overnight |
| 1458 | Turn on He3 pump. Commence mixture cleaning through cold trap 1. |
| 1615 | IVC pumping pressure = 40 E-6mbar. Valve out pump, IVC pressure = 8.6 E-3 mbar. (Waited longer with the valve closed this time, about 5 minutes) |
| 1627 | Commence pumping mixture to dump. |
| 1702 | G2=791 mbar, so we might want to pump to dump again tomorrow. Stop pumping to dump. |
