- Lab in-person: Derek
- Virtual partner: Zach
| Status | Run 74 prep. Main bath is up. Need to do more cryocleaning and prepare room-temperature circuit for HV biasing. |
|---|---|
| 1250 | Derek enters lab |
| 1328 | Remove Trap 1 from bath and put trap 2 in. |
| 1330 | Fill LN2 bath. |
| 1335 | Start cryo-cleaning through trap 2, V6 = 11% |
| 1339 | Just realized we forgot to check the contents of trap 2 before starting the cleaning, whoops. We're committed at this point so might as well finish this one… |
| 1340 | Open V6 → 11.4% to restart flow. |
| 1350 | Open V6 → 11.6% to restart flow. |
| 1435 | Stop cleaning through Trap 2 after 60 min. G2 flow pressure was 560-790 mbar. Pump mixture to dump. Removed 5.0 mbar. |
| 1500 | Measure contents of Trap 1 and pump it out. |
| 1517 | Begin cleaning through Trap 1, V6 = 11.2% |
| 1522 | Open V6 → 11.6% to restart flow. |
| 1532 | Flow was stopped or at least suppressed. Tried to open V6 further, pressure shot up to 950 mbar, immediately closed V6 and restarted flow with V6 = 11.6%. |
| 1534 | G2 resettled to around 700 and is now falling, going to continue cleaning normally until the hour mark. |
| 1617 | Stop cleaning through Trap 1 after 60 min. G2 flow pressure was 590-790 mbar except for the one bump of 950. Pump mixture to dump. Removed 9.7 mbar. |
| 1633 | Close all valves and turn off He3 pump. |
| 1635 | Derek leaves lab. |
