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
PuBe source in paraffin barrel behind shield (west side)
Took NaI-triggered data overnight @50V, looks good.
1300 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1307 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 32.9/30.4/196 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 220/204 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.689 K / 28 mbar. Main Bath = 61.7%. Boil off rate: faster than slow mode (predicted level: 67.3%)
1314 Dial HV down to 0V. Start 30 minute bake on DCRC4.
1430 Oops, start 30 minute bake on DCRCs 1&2.
1535 Dial HV up to 65 V. After 5 minutes dial down to 50 V.
1540 HV = 49.99 V, Vtest = 3.9 mV. Vdetector = 48.27 V
1545 Checked all 6 channels, all look good!
1550 Start 19 1-hour data series of 1-sided 50V HV coincidence data with Frontend Gain = (15/15/4)/(4/3/2), OG = 4/2, QET biases = table from Apr 28, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 1500ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4 pA (TTL signal). Running OR trigger of NaI detectors with PuBe source on west side of shield. NaI detector C has 311 mV threshold and detector B has 288 mV threshold.
1550 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
