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
Overnight: weak Y source placed on NaI detector mount on fridge shield
0930 Remove weak Y source from NaI detector mount
0935 Place strong Y source on south wall near NaI detectors. This raises event rate in detector to about 60 Hz
0935 MC = 33.0 mK. Main bath = 30.0%
1000 Finish IbIs on DCRC1pA/DIB1pA/Side1pE
1005 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1030 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 32.9/30.8/194 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 246/221 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.691 K / 28 mbar. Main Bath = 28.6%. Boil off rate: faster than slow mode (predicted level: 32.3%)
1045 Finish IbIs on DCRC1pB/DIB1pB/Side1pB
1055 Start LHe transfer (MB = 27.8%)
1205 Finish LHe transfer (MB = 90.6%)
1213 Try external triggering from NaI setup. Enable DCRC4 in ODB and make it timing master. Turn off DCRC4 15V power to be nice to OP Amps. We can see and trigger on TTL signal on DCRC4pA.
1218 60 kHz noise observed on all phonon channels. Reset timing link via telnet session, but the noise remains.
1223 Hopefully we can sort this out. For now, just start taking some data to search for coincidence with the NaI detectors.
1224 Start 0V test coincidence series with 1000 ADC trigger on DCRC4pA (TTl signal) .
