Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3)
1246 Tower temp @34 mK, 1K pot pressure ~4.5mbar, 1Kpot temp=1.5K, G1/G2=115/11mbar. MB=63.8%. 1K Pot temperature has gotten less stable over time, with oscillations between ~1.52 to 1.58 K since about 8 am.
Boiloff rate is good, slightly faster than slow-mode. Yesterday released pressure at 13 and 52 minutes after the fill.
Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1250 Tweak 1K Pot, give time to settle.
1255 Place Cf source (in poly container) at detector level of fridge for overnight activation.
1330 After getting distracted and giving the 1K Pot LOTS of time to settle, 1K pot pressure 80mbar, 1Kpot temp=1.76K. Both temperature and pressure are still slowly dropping, but this will hopefully last till tomorrow morning.
