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 → DCRCX(4)/DCRC55(1)
DCRC33(2) → 1kV power supply → HV input

Three walls of the lead/poly shield are up.

  • Data from 6 series block July 3-4
  • Linear calibration using unbalanced PTOFamps based on high-pF part of 1.3 keV line.
    • diagonal indicates fit to radial position dependence
  • First and third red lines indicate position of 160 eV and 10.3 keV lines
  • Where is the 160 eV line??
  • Note that bottom of 1.3 keV line is missing, present in 10.3 keV line - I guess a triggering effect (trigger on pF only)
  • Based on the number of high-pF events in the 1.3 keV line, the 160 eV line should have 9 high-pF events.
  • Looking at the outer edge of the noise blob, many of these events have the first-8-bin glitch
0930 Fill LN2 coldtrap bath from bomb dewar
Put PuBe source into fridge shield for activation
0943 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 39.0/28.9/198 mK, Still = 1.36 K / 0.18 mbar / 6 mW, G1/G2 = 197/186 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.613 K / 19 mbar. MB = 67.6%
1300 PuBe source taken out of shield after 3.5 hours
1315 Check event rate, starting 3.5 min and ending 6 min after removing source. Count number of visible pulses in 50 traces, three trials: count 20, 31, 34 pulses. 173±19 Hz
1330 Check event rate, starting 25 min after removing source. Count number of visible pulses in 50 traces, three trials: count 24, 25, 23 pulses. 146±17 Hz
compare with 20 minutes after the last activation on 27 June, 103 Hz
1355 Lead stack to shield PuBe source built
1400 fill LN2 coldtrap bath from bomb dewar
1505 Check event rate, starting 120 min after removing source. Count number of visible pulses in 50 traces, three trials: count 20, 15, 25 pulses. 122±16 Hz
1755 Check event rate, starting 290 min after removing source. Count number of visible pulses in 50 traces, three trials: count 11, 13, 14 pulses. 77±13 Hz
1757 Start a sequence of 8 @ 50 min series at HV = 180→306V, rate 2.49V/min, with 10% prebias for 2 minutes, flash at end with 30 min wait.
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = (490/400/495)/(420/480/450) uA, Front-End Gains = (2/2/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR, 5Hz InRun randoms, trigger on DCRC1pD threshold = 3, baseline/sample length = 20/30 (standard 5/16),phonon pre-pulse 600 (standard is 500).
Use sequence HVdrift_8X180V_2p49VPM_loopversion_prebias_10_2_dur_50min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
