Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables1/2/3 → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/50(3)
Overnight: taking data with coincidence trigger from NaI detector, 88Y source in lead castle behind fridge
0855 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.3/36.1/218 mK, Still = 1.2 K / 110 μbar, G1/G2 = 180/170 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.69 K / 24 mbar. MB = 31.1%.
Boiloff rate: a little faster than slow-mode
0900 Fill LN2 coldtrap.
0900 Remove 88Y source from behind fridge and put back in safe.
0955 Put 88Y source in lead castle behind fridge. NOTE: source is now screwed onto end of the aluminum rod from the photoneutron apparatus.
1026 Return 88Y source to safe
1105 Begin LHe transfer (27.6%)
1150 Finish LHe transfer (91.8%)
1205 Released pressure from MB.
1250 Re released pressure from MB.
1320 Re released pressure from MB.
1658 Fill LN2 coldtrap full.
1728 Put 88Y source in lead castle behind fridge. NOTE: source is now screwed onto end of the aluminum rod from the photoneutron apparatus.
1759 Start sequence of 15 one-hour data series of 0V data with Frontend Gain = 5/2/5, OG = 8/3/8, with 2000 beginning randoms (because of increased pileup from higher source rate), with no flashing in between series, triggered with NaI coincidence setup (low threshold 111mV high threshold 124mV and 1100V on NaI detector) using DCRCX (DCRC4) PhA. Use 700 pre-pulse samples to see if the coincident peak moves
