Previous Day

Setup: iZIP mode, DIB1/2/3 → cables → 3.2 MHz filters → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3), Tower has been cooled below Al transition with mu-metal shield at standard position
0910 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 42.0/29.3/149 mK, Still = 1.25 / 0.080 mbar, G1/G2 = 210/195 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.53 K / 5.5 mbar, MB = 18.5%
0915 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
0917 Start LHe transfer
0956 Finish LHe transfer @ 93.3%
1006 Release pressure from MB (10 min after fill)
1026 Release pressure from MB (30 min after fill)
1030 There is ugly noise on DIB2 QI, not as strong as yesterday apparently. Wiggles with a period around 1 ms (so in the kHz range). Sadly this is the most important channel since the Am sources are pointed at it.
1035 MC = 42.2 mK, Still = 0.080 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.45 K / 6.5 mbar. Tweak open needle valve on 1K Pot a few degrees
1351 flash and take with bias at +/- 4 V
