Previous Day

Setup: DIB 1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 1/2/3 → cable 1/2/3 → gender changer 1/3/4 → DCRC55(1)/33(2)/X(4)
0908 Tower = 26.0 mK, Still = 0.055 mbar, G1/G2 = 148/133 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.67 K / 24 mbar. MB = 68.4%
0909 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
0926 Flash detector
1014 Tower = 26.7 mK, DCRC1PA rate = 133 Hz
1025 Retrieve Cf-252 source from 4th floor lab. Leave in transport case for now.
1014 Tower = 26.1 mK, DCRC1PA rate = 113 Hz
1032 Place Cf source inside top of Mu metal shield on west side of fridge
1037 DCRC1PA rate = 120 Hz
1042 Start flash and take sequence of 3 60-minute data series of Cf data with Frontend Gain = (15/2)/(4/4)/(5/5/5/5), OG = 4/2/4, QET biases = 2V setting from 2017/07/25, with 1000 beginning randoms, 30 sec flash with 30 min wait, and a 15ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4pB (Side2pF). Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 2/-2 V.
1113 Manually terminate sequence. Flash and take tried to turn on DCRC3 LEDs, and the sequence froze at that line, so it just baked for the last 30 min… I'll just write a sequence by hand.
1214 Tower = 26.4 mK
1217 Start takeAndFlash sequence of 3 60-minute data series of Cf data with Frontend Gain = (15/2)/(4/4)/(5/5/5/5), OG = 4/2/4, QET biases = 2V setting from 2017/07/25, with 1000 beginning randoms, 30 sec flash with 30 min wait, and a 15ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4pB (Side2pF). Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 2/-2 V.
1228 Data looks good so far
1709 Partially fill LN2 cold trap.
1718 Start takeAndFlash sequence of 8 60-minute data series of Cf data with Frontend Gain = (15/2)/(4/4)/(5/5/5/5), OG = 4/2/4, QET biases = 2V setting from 2017/07/25, with 1000 beginning randoms, 30 sec flash with 30 min wait, and a 15ADC bin threshold trigger on DCRC4pB (Side2pF). Charge biases are DCRC1/2 (Side2/1) = 2/-2 V.
1719 1K pot pressure = 24 mbar. Tweak 1K pot needle valve
