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)
NaI detector: 1.1 kV (for real) → NaI B/C (dynodes terminated) → Ortec 452(Neg input, gain=2.5, shaping = 6 us, output=+10V)/ Ortec 575A(Neg input, gain=5, shaping = 3 us) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRCX(4) PB/PA
DCRC33(2) → kepco 1kV power supply → HV input
status: Na22 -125V data overnight, tower = 29.7 mK
0930 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 29.6/30.4/186 mK, Still = 0.0 mW / 1.4±0.1 K / 0.085 mbar, G1/G2 = 116/109 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 16 mbar, Turbo on IVC = 0.74 nbar, MB = 39.2%
0935 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1055 Remove Na22 source from near fridge, return to safe. We are between 2-hour datasets - next one will be background data
1355 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 33/0%
1400 Stop data sequence during pause after flash
1440 Start 8x2hr background series at HV = -125 V with 15% prebias for 5 min, split into 10 min subruns, with CDMS and NaI detectors running and DCRC2 as HV controller. Using sequence HVscan-125×8-15_5PreBias-DCRC2_250V-30Flash-30wait-2hrData-10minSubRun.msl
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 2x, QET biases = (280/280/305)/(140/280/295) uA, Front-End Gains = (10/10/10)/(10/15/10)
NaI detector: 1.1 kV (for real) → NaI B/C (dynodes terminated) → Ortec 452(Neg input, gain=2.5, shaping = 6 us, output=+10V)/ Ortec 575A(Neg input, gain=5, shaping = 3 us) → x10/x10 attenuator → DCRCX(4) PB/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
1640 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
