Previous Day

  • Lab in-person: Derek
  • Virtual partner: Ruiren, Zach, Matt
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 off. Lead/poly shield erected (4 lead walls, 2 poly walls).
Status Warming up. Circulation and 1K Pot stopped yesterday. 1K Pot pumped out, presumably dry, and isolated. All mixture in dump. Fridge and 4He trap isolated. DCRCs, Arduino/motor driver, HV supply all off. MC and Still heaters on. Turbo pump still pumping on IVC, no gas in cryostat vacuum jacket.
0445 Recovery = 404800.20 cuft, 8.5 cuft/hr
0745 Tower/Sorb = 23.9/50.4 K. Should switch to Cernox thermometer, Tower thermometer calibration probably not good here.
0750 Turn off MC/Still Heaters.
0750 Close V9. Now all IGH valves closed.
1109 Recovery = 404855.11 cuft, 8.6 cuft/hr. After this the recovery rate drops suddenly, I guess maybe the liquid is almost all boiled off.
1121 Recovery = 404856. cuft, 4.7 cuft/hr.
1240 Tower thermometer starts rising faster around this time, possibly related to all the LHe now gone.
Derek's body temperature: 97.5 °F
1440 Derek enters lab
1510 Switch from Tower thermometer to Cernox thermometer. It looks like the calibrations agree even at 26 K
1525 MC(Cernox)/Sorb = 27.0/75.9 K
1540 Remove lead from north wall of lead/poly shield.
1600 North wall of lead/poly shield removed.
1615 Lead removed from south wall of lead/poly shield.
1620 Derek leaves lab.
1830 Derek's body temperature 97.7 °F
