Previous Day

  • 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.
