Previous Day

  • Lab in-person: Matt
  • Virtual partner: Ruiren, Derek
Setup Run 73. DIB 1/3/4 → Stripline 43/48/41 → pi-filters 1/2/3 → Cable 3/1/2 → nothing/nothing/accessory_interposer → HV_Conn 1/3/2 → HV 1/2 → DCRCX(4)/DCRC55(1)-master; DCRC33(2) → HV control. DCRCs on. Lead/poly shield erected (4 lead walls, 2 poly walls).
0850 Tower thermometer wandering between 92.8 and 93.5 mK. IbIs on DCRC1pD implies detector temperature around 60.2 mK. Pattern consistent with last night.
0856 Start a 60 min series at HV = +10V, drifting 0.0225 V/s, no prebias,
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = set automatically to track temperature, Front-End Gains = (3/3/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR & 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/D threshold = 8/8
Use RootSequencer.c, function drift_sequence(10,0.0225,3600,0,0)
Use QETbias_update.c, function sequence_update_QETbiases(62,30,0,0.0885,52.04)
0856 Vtest = 0.2 mV shortly after drift begins. Drift starts at 10.2 V. 0.78% HV loss.
Tower thermometer wandered between 92.7 and 93.4 mK during series.
0957 Vtest = 0.48 V at end of drift. Final HV = +91.5 V. 0.21% HV loss.
1055 Double-click Arduino_Create_Bridge on desktop, then go to Arduino Web Editor and select Monitor. This causes the Tower temperature to spike to 1.4 K, then fall.
1255 Matt Fritts body temperature = 96.4 F
1340 Matt enters lab
1345 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 93.3/31.8/199 mK, Still = 1.55 K / 0.130 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 250/220 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.62 K / 21±2 mbar.
1413 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 18.2%
1420 Swap HV leads to negative polarity
1425 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1447 Finish LHe transfer @ MB = 93.7%
1515 MB = 93.3%
1530 Measure resistance to Backward Endstop on source mover. This reads O/L, since the source carriage is still 0.5 mm from the stop. Tried to set up the Keithley to measure this (instead of measuring V across the HV test resistor) but can't figure out how to make it stay in resistance measurement mode, keeps switching back to voltage.
1700 Matt leaves lab
1955 Do more IbIs to get detector temperature versus Tower thermometer relationship. Detector around 59.4 mK, Tower thermometer around 88 mK.
2006 Start a 60 min series at HV = -100V, drifting 0.0290 V/s, prebias 15% for 2min,
CDMS detector: Driver Gains = 1x, DCRC4/1 QET biases = set automatically to track temperature, Front-End Gains = (3/3/3)/(5/5/5)
1000 BOR & 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC1pB/D threshold = 8/8
Use RootSequencer.c, function drift_sequence(100,0.0290)
Use QETbias_update.c, function sequence_update_QETbiases(63,30,0,0.0337,56.41)
2006 Vtest = -0.55 mV shortly after drift begins. Drift starts at -107.6 V. 0.20% HV loss.
Tower thermometer wandered between 86.6 and 88.3 mK during series
2107 Vtest = -0.86 V at end of drift. HV = -211.4 V. 0.16% HV loss.
