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)
1506 Overnight data looks good.
1507 Dial HV down to 0V. Start 1 hr minute bake on DCRCs 1&2.
1721 waited a bit long on the bake, it was more like 2.25 hrs turn up voltage to 65V for prebias when dropped below 90 mK (is it OK to prebias when temp elevated?, probably)
1727 turn bias back down to 50V, but need to wait for temperature to fully recover before starting another run
1817 Start 16 1-hour data series of 1-sided 50V HV coincidence data with Frontend Gain = (15/15/4)/(3/5/2)(15/15/2)/(3/4/4), OG = 4/2, QET biases = table from Apr 28, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 1500ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4 pA (140mV external NaI trigger). 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
was cold trap bath ever filled? hope so.
