Previous Day

  • Lab in-person: Matt
  • Virtual partner: Zach
Status Run 74 in progress. Warming up a second time to fix the DIB2qI short which reappeared at around 130 K. N2 in Cryostat Vacuum Jacket, some He in IVC. Mixture in fridge and dump.
1130 MC(Cernox) = 207.1 K and rising at 3.8 K/hour.
this implies a warming time constant of 23 hours assuming room temperature = 295 K. Suppose dew point is 275 K, then we'll reach this in 34.25 hours, which is 9:45 pm tomorrow night.
1500 MC(Cernox) = 219.2 K and rising at 3.2 K/hour. (Updated time to reach dew point: 10:30 pm tomorrow night)
1515 Matt enters lab
1515 Release some pressure from MB
1520 Start pumping mixture out of fridge to dump
1525 Check for DIB2qI shorts from feedback, drain, source: non seen, all less than 0.3 nS.
1545 Take side coax ST-3-8 to wirebond lab to fix open qO bias resistor.
Hard to tell which wirebond was bad even through the microscope. Had to tap them with a pointed stick - found one connection was loose, the one connecting the first to the second resistor, counting from the detector side. Remove bond with tweezers.
1600 Replace wirebond on second attempt. Wirebond settings: power 475/475, defaults for everything else.
1605 Replace copper foil cover on side coax. Electrical checkout on ST-3-8 charge channels: all resistors good, no shorts to chassis
1610 Stop pumping mixture to dump. Dump(G2) = 757.4 mbar. Close all IGH valves and turn off 3He pump.
1615 Matt exits lab
