Previous Day

Setup:
DIB1/3/4 → 3.2 MHz filters 2/3/1 → cable 3/1/2 → gender changer 3/?/2 → HVConn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRC55(1)/DCRC50(3)

1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRCX(4)
DCRC33(2) → kepco 1kV power supply → HV input
status: Took 133Ba data overnight at -80V.
0840 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 31.6/30.1/195 mK, Still = 1.0 mW / 1.4±0.1 K / 0.085 mbar, G1/G2 = 122/115 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.60 K / 19 mbar, Turbo on IVC = 0.86 nbar, MB = 74.5%
0845 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1215 DCRC1pB is railed, re-lock it.
1240 Stop data taking script just after flash.
1242 Remove 22Na source from safe and place on top of SW corner of shield. Replace 133Ba source in safe.
1250 Bring PuBe source into lab and place on west side of shield, just south of the southwest fridge stand post.
1302 Start 1 x 2hr NaI calibration dataset split into 10min subruns (HV=0), with CDMS and NaI detectors running and DCRC2 as HV controller. Using sequence timed_subrun.msl
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (280/260/305)/(140/280/295) uA, Front-End Gains = 10
NaI detector: 1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V, Pos) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us, Pos) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRC4PB/PA, Driver Gains = 1/1, PhononWaveFormLength = 1024 (512 samples), PhononPrepulseSamples = 64 (64 samples)
1000 BOR randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA/B threshold = 10/10
1535 Return 22Na source to safe.
1550 Return PuBe to storage in PAN 443
1612 Remove 22Na source from safe and place inside, at bottom of lead shield on the north-west side of the fridge. This seems to be about as close as we can get without too much pileup and without exposing the whole lab to the source.
1627 Start 10 x 2hr Na datasets at -80V split into 10min subruns, with CDMS and NaI detectors running and DCRC2 as HV controller. Using sequence HVscan-80×10-15_5PreBias-30Flash-30wait-2hrData-10minSubRun.msl
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (280/260/305)/(140/280/295) uA, Front-End Gains = 10
NaI detector: 1.1kV → NaI B/C → Ortec 452(gain=5, shaping = 6 us, output=10V, Pos) / Ortec 575A(gain=10, shaping = 3us, Pos) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRC4PB/PA, Driver Gains = 1/1, PhononWaveFormLength = 1024 (512 samples), PhononPrepulseSamples = 64 (64 samples)
1000 BOR randoms, trigger on DCRC3pB/C/D threshold = 7/10/9
1630 Fill LN2 cold trap full.
