Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables 1,2,3 → HV board inputs 1,3,2 → HV board outputs 1,2 → DCRC55(1)/50(3)
HV at 0 V overnight
0805 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.4/34.7/223 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 110 μbar, G1/G2 = 175/150 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.71 K / 32 mbar. MB = 29.7%.
Boiloff rate:
0810 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
0810 Remove 88Y source from fridge, replace in safe
0930 Lower PuBe neutron source into shield to activate detector. Scheduled to remove it at 13:00
1058 Commence LHe transfer (24.3%).
1158 Finish LHe transfer (86.6%)
1208 Release pressure from main bath.
1320 Remove PuBe neutron souce from cryostat.
1400 0V 100ms randoms for muon
1403 Release pressure from main bath.
1555 Event rate is elevated since the activation. Counted 110 events in 1 second = 110 Hz. Hopefully some of this is short-lived stuff.
1615 60V 100ms randoms for muon
1710 Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
