Run 62:

Status IVC is open. Mixture has been cryocleaned 3 times. Fridge is evacuated but should probably be pumped out again. 1K Pot needle valve is open, so now there will be air in the pot, should pump it out before cooling. Cryostat vacuum jacket has been pumped down to 190 ubar, maybe should be pumped out more before cooling. De-installation has been done up to 100mK shields.
0845 MC(Cernox) = 297.7/298.4 K on LakeShore/LabVIEW vi. Temperature reached maximum at around 23:00 last night.
Lab = 23.7 C, 38% humidity.
Lab = 296.9 K. So the LakeShore calibration seems to be closer - both are actually a little high it seems.
0855 Open (warm) Trap 2 to G1. Reads 24.3 mbar of contaminants after cleaning#3 (75 minutes).
Pump out Trap 2. Then put it in the LN2 bath.
Cryocleaning log
date duration (minutes) contaminants removed (mbar)
June 15 125 (may not have had flow the entire time) 54
June 15 70 45.3
June 15 75 24.3

In the last run we had multiple throughput blockages which we eventually concluded were due to insufficient cryocleaning. The results above are already lower than the very high contaminant pressures we found in the cleanings last run. The last cleaning in the previous run got out 18.6 mbar, so maybe we will clean one more time for this run.

1554 Remove tower from fridge and place in clean room. When installed, Kapton tape had been used to secure external LED wires to the spool. Now, it seems that these all had fallen off during the run.

Note that the two non-functioning channels, those that appeared to have their TES's open (DIB3pA/Side2pB and DIB4pA/Side2pC), show no significant differences in the tower checkout as compared to pre-run. This leaves two possibilities: maybe it's a problem with the SQUET - this should be checked - or maybe it's a fundamental problem with the channel on the detector.

1640 Put tower into N2 purge

Run 63:

1010 New detector arrives: G132 (ZP#2), the germanium iZIP pathfinder. The package is not the standard wooden crate with a pressurized vessel, rather it is cardboard boxes within cardboard boxes and a plastic container which apparently is not pressurized:
Three nested cardboard boxes with cushioning material between every layer
1600 Remove G132 from box and place in N2 purge cabinet
