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

NaI B → DCRC50(3) pB
Lead/poly shield erected, south wall partial lead only (with NaI detectors).
PuBe source in lab behind lead stack.
0930 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
0932 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 38.9/30.0/199 mK, Still = 1.31 K/ 0.095 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 123/114 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.69 K / 40 mbar. MB= 30.6%
0942 Start a sequence of 8 @ 34 min series at HV = 180→327V, rate 4.31V/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 = 6, baseline/sample length = 120/28 (standard 16/5), phonon pre-pulse 500 (standard is 500).
NaI detector: 800 V → NaI B (dynode terminated) → PS776 → Lecroy 628 Fan In/Out → Ortec 452(Neg input, G=100, shaping=6us, -10V output) → DCRC3 PB, Driver Gains = 1, PhononWaveFormLength = 1024 (512 samples), PhononPrepulseSamples = 512 (512 samples)
Use sequence HVdrift_8X180V_4p31VPM_loopversion_prebias_10_2_dur_34min_flashDCRC_1_4.msl
1115 Looks like MIDAS crashed. mhttpd not running. Do a ./start, it starts running again. Sequence starts again near the beginning of the initial ramp up to the prebias voltage, so maybe this series will be ok.
1129 MIDAS crashed again, mhttpd not running. Do a ./start, it starts running again at the beginning of data taking for series 2/8. Now this series is probably junk.
1350 Commence LHe transfer. MB=22.9%.
1435 Cease LHe transfer. MB=91.4%.
1620 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
