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(1)/DCRC33(2)
PuBe source in paraffin barrel behind shield (west side)
0124 all DIB 2 channels railed in most recent data they railed around 2113 on 6/9, so most of the data just taken is junk
0129 Tower = 33.5 mK, Main bath = 43.8%
Lab = 24.5 C, 37% humidity
HV = 73 V, Vtest = 68.72 mV → 45.48V. Leakage is worse than ever.
0130 begin 900s bake
0213 pre-bias to HV = 75 V, wait for settle
0230 trying to get to pre-bias at 65V, leakage is huge and preventing it already HV = 95.2, Vtest=80.4 → Vdetector = 63V
0242 HV = 95.2, Vtest = 75.28 mV → Vdetector = 65.06V
0243 HV = 75V as starting point to reach Vdetector = 50V
0307 HV = 70.5, Vtest = 51.16 mV → Vdetector = 50.03 V
0308 Start 5 1-hour data series of 1-sided 50V HV coincidence data with Frontend Gain = (15/10/10)/(4/4/4), OG = 4/2, QET biases = 30 column from table from May 24, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 500ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4 pA (external 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
0309 Tower = 33.18 mK
0312 Vtest = 50.69 mV
1130 HV = 70.5, Vtest = 61.04 mV → Vdetector = 45.99 V
1133 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 33.1/30.8/196 mK, Still = 1.3 K / 0.110 mbar, G1/G2 = 227/230 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.665 K / 20.0 mbar. Main bath = 28.9%. Predicted level: 31.7%
1135 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
1139 Dial HV down to 0 V and short leads
1143 Begin 30 minute bake with DCRCs 1&2
1145 Lab = 23.0 C, 41% humidity
1150 Start LHe transfer (MB = 28.7%)
1230 Pre-bias to HV = 90.0 V, wait to settle (aiming for 65V pre-bias). Tower = 42.1 mK and cooling, all channels looking ok.
1241 HV = 90.0, Vtest = 81.5 mV → Vdetector = 57.29 V.
1246 HV = 102.4, Vtest = 91.2 mV → Vdetector = 65.79 V.
1250 Tower = 34.4 mK
1253 End LHe transfer (MB = 92.6%)
1300 Dial HV down to 77.8 V, targeting Vdetector = 50.0 V. Start recording Vtest with camera, wait to settle.
1303 HV = 77.8, Vtest = 70.5 mV → Vdetector = 49.5 V.
1305 HV = 78.5, Vtest = 72.4 mV → Vdetector = 49.4 V.
1312 HV = 81.9, Vtest = 80.5 mV → Vdetector = 49.58 V.
1313 Tower = 33.2 mK.
1319 Start 5 1-hour data series of 1-sided 50V HV coincidence data with Frontend Gain = (15/10/10)/(4/4/4), OG = 4/2, QET biases = 30 column from table from May 24, with 1000 beginning randoms, no flashing, and a 500ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4 pA (external 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
1319 HV = 81.9, Vtest = 81.3 mV → Vdetector = 49.26 V.
1400 Notice that DCRC2 pC and pD both railed low. It looks like they started quite low in the digitizer range and got lower. They railed during Dump 36 of the _1318 series, between event 100 and 200.
Trying to run Opera at home through x-forwarding is very sluggish, will try to adjust these channels as soon as possible…
1437 Adjust DCRC2pC driver offset up from 0.046 to 0.076
1444 Adjust DCRC2pD driver offset up from -0.066 to -0.016
As of Series _1419 Dump 26 all channels are OK, nothing railed. I really should have tried to unrail these channels before the _1419 series began, as it is the noise processing will probably fail for the railed channels. But couldn't manage it, too slow from home.
1753 HV = 81.9, Vtest = 106.28 mV → Vdetector = 39.24 V… frustrating >:(
1755 HV = 104.3, Vtest = 138.7 mV → Vdetector = 48.63 V
