Previous Day

Setup: DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 3/1/2 → cable 3/1/2 →gender changer 3/1/2 → HVConn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRC55/DCRC33
HV = 0, took data overnight, data looks good
0905 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.7/31.2/193 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 250/245 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.680 K / 24 mbar, Main bath = 36.5%. Boil off rate: faster than slow mode (predicted level: 39.3%).
0910 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1110 Make a layer of lead on the top surface of the shield, three-sheets thick, forming a square ceiling close to the Dewar.
Measure background rate: count 24 events in 1 second = 24 Hz.
1253 Adjust trace lengths in ODB for DCRC1, DCRC3 to 26.2144ms (ChargeWaveFormLength = 131072, PhononWaveFormLength = 65536)
1256 Record 0V baselines.
Channel Baseline (V)
DIB1 PA -0.9068
DIB1 PB -0.6713
DIB1 PC -0.5362
DIB2 PC -0.9259
DIB2 PD -0.8061
1257 Start 1 hour 0V HV long trace random data set with 26.2144ms trace length, 20Hz in-run randoms with no starting/ending randoms.
1336 Cease data taking Past noise sets have only needed <30mins of data.
1348 Commence LHe transfer. Regulator pressure 1.75 PSI.
1430 End LHe transfer, MB = 92.4%
1650 1K Pot = 1.654 K / 24 mbar. It was 30 mbar 5 days ago, has been creeping down since. Will tweak the needle valve open a few degrees more now.
1655 1K Pot = 1.669 K / 28 mbar. Small effect. But we'll leave it there for a while.
1743 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
