Previous Day

Setup Run 72. DIB 1/3/4 → Stripline 43/41/48 → Cable 3/2/1 → nothing/nothing/accessory_interposer → HV_Conn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRCX(4)/DCRC55(1). DCRCs on overnight. Lead/poly shield erected (4 lead walls, 2 poly walls).
Overnight: Tower has been warm since Friday when we disconnected the DCRCs. This morning it was around 85 mK. Turned the Still heater off for a while, rose to 95 mK. Turned Still heater back to 10 mW, Tower fell to around 70 mK.
1030 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 71.5/59.6/195 mK, Still = 1.65±0.10 K / 0.240 mbar / 10 mW, G1/G2= 609/567 mbar, 1K Pot = 2.30 K / 32 mbar. MB = 63.6%
1040 open 1K Pot needle valve wider, 60°→70°. 32→38 mbar, 2.296→2.320 K
1045 open 1K Pot needle valve wider, 70°→80°. 38→40 mbar, 2.320→2.333 K
no change to Tower temperature which is slowly rising. Circulation pressures slightly higher.
1050 close 1K Pot needle valve narrower, 80°→40°. 40→19 mbar, 2.333→2.248 K
1055 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1100 Tower = 76.7 mK. Not rising currently. Maybe it will start to fall again.
1100 Check phonon channels. There are pulses, most are weak, DCRC1pB (Side1pA) is an exception, those are strongish. Try applying 100V bias. Then dial back down to zero.
1110 Tower = 81.2 mK and rising. Lame. Probably this is hte reaction to the LN2 fill. Maybe it will still go down.
1K Pot = 2.22 K / 19 mbar
