Previous Day

Status: warm, IVC open, preparing for Run 71. Mixture hasn't been cleaned since end of Run 70.
1445 Check warm LN2 Cold Traps. Trap 1 had a few mbar after being pumped out last week - pump it out again. Trap 2 had 15 mbar accumulated after sitting warm the last few months. Pump that out too.
1455 Put traps in bath and fill LN2 cold trap bath
1515 Start cryocleaning mixture through LN2 Cold Trap 1, V6 = 12.6%
1520 Increase V6 → 12.7% to speed up flow
1530 Increase V6 → 12.8% to speed up flow
1540 Opened V13a to check flow, seemed fast enough to not bump V6 any further. (Increasing @ ~3-5 mbar/sec)
1550 Increase V6 → 12.9% to speed up flow
1615 Stop cleaning through Trap 1 after 60 min. G2 flow pressure was 565-595 mbar. Pump mixture to dump.
Removed 9.5 mbar.
SQUETS
1600 Modify SQUET ZC-74 to set all shunt resistances back to 20 mΩ. (pB was 10 mΩ, had to remove bonds from 10 mΩ resistor and add bonds to 20 mΩ resistor; pC was 6.7 mΩ, had to remove bonds from 10 mΩ resistor.) Electrical check of all phonon-related connections, looks OK.
