Previous Day

  • Lab in-person: Ruiren
  • Virtual partner: 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.
Status Warming up. Circulation and 1K Pot stopped two days ago. 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. Turbo pump still pumping on IVC, no gas in cryostat vacuum jacket. Helium bath boiled off, recovery valve still open.
0837 Recovery = 404866.325 cuft, 0.11 cuft/hr
0915 MC(Cernox)/Sorb = 66.5/172.7 K

todo:

  • Stop pumping IVC and let some N2 into it
  • Close recovery valve (and stop recovery camera)
  • Let some N2 into the IVC
  • Remove LN2 Trap 1 from bath
  • Check LHe trap and fridge pressures, pump them out
  • Check and pump out LN2 Trap 1 when warm
Ruiren temperature = 36.6 C
1415 Ruiren enters lab
1435 MC(Cernox)/Sorb = 76/194 K
1440 Let some N2 into IVC. Sorb and MC temperatures rise more quickly.
1437 Recovery = 404866.88 cuft, 0.077 cuft/hr
1445 Close MB Recovery valve.
1450 MC(Cernox)/Sorb = 80.1/207.5 K
1500 Let total of 0.2 bar N2 into IVC, according to mechanical gauge (140 mbar on Pfeiffer gauge). Close IVC valves.
1520 Connect vacuum manifold hose to cryostat vacuum jacket port and pump it out with Scroll pump and Turbo pump.
1525 Let 5.4 mbar N2 gas into vacuum manifold. Then open cryostat vacuum jacket valve to let this into the vacuum jacket. Vacuum Jacket → 250 ubar.
1530 MC(Cernox)/Sorb = 93.5/295 K
1550 Remove south wall of lead/poly shield
1550 Ruiren leaves lab
