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
0935 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.6/31.4/194 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.120 mbar, G1/G2 = 245/225 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.702 K / 32 mbar, Main bath = 30.5%. Boil off rate: close to slow mode (predicted level: 33.7%).
0940 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1152 Start LHe transfer (MB = 26.8%)
1258 End LHe transfer (MB = 90.5%)
1535 Finish IbIs on DCRC1pA/DIB1pA/Side1pE. At the standard bias of 130.2 the Ib*prefac is now 33.7 uA, used to be 40 uA. To get to 40 uA according to this new IbIs should adjust QET bias to 132.7 uA.
1609 By measuring superconducting slope at 3 different gains, verify that Rev.C driver gains (1-3) are linear within 1% (yay!)
1700 Finish IbIs on DCRC1pB/DIB1pB/Side1pB. At the standard bias of 143.2 the Ib*prefac is now 33.7 uA, used to be 43 uA. To get to 40 uA according to this new IbIs should adjust QET bias to 145.3 uA.
1725 Finish IbIs on DCRC1pC/DIB1pC/Side1pD. At the standard bias of 130.4 the Ib*prefac is 39.4, this is within error equal to the target value of 40.
New standard QET biases from most recent IbIs measurements:
channel QET bias prefactor QETbias*prefactor
DCRC1pA/DIB1pA/Side1pE 132.7 0.301 40
DCRC1pB/DIB1pB/Side1pB 145.3 0.275 40
DCRC1pC/DIB1pC/Side1pD 130.4 0.302 40
DCRC2pC/DIB4pC/Side1pC -151.3 0.264 40
DCRC2pD/DIB4pD/Side1pF -148.9 0.269 40
1755 Apply 50V HV to detector
1800 Vtest has fallen to 3 mV so Vdetector = 48.7 V
1805 Measure all five channel baselines before and after applying HV
channel driver gain 0V 50V
DCRC1pA/DIB1pA/Side1pE x4 -0.744 -0.756
DCRC1pB/DIB1pB/Side1pB x4 -0.552 -0.605
DCRC1pC/DIB1pC/Side1pD x4 -0.616 -0.754
DCRC2pC/DIB4pC/Side1pC x2 -0.738 -0.73
DCRC2pD/DIB4pD/Side1pF x2 -0.75 -0.788
Why have most of these gone down?
1810 Start sequence of 16, 1-hour data series of 1-sided 50V HV data with Frontend Gain = (20/20/20)/(-/4/4), OG = 4/2, QET biases = table above, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 15ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC1 pA
1810 HV = 50V, Vtest = 1.9 mV, Vdetector = 49.2 V
1815 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
