Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt, Zach, Michael
Status Run 74 in progress. Warmed up after 3rd appearance of IVC leak at 4K, rebuilt IVC. Cryostat Vacuum Jacket pumped out. Mixture cryocleaned three times.
IVC pumping over the weekend
1150 Turbo on IVC = 46 nbar. With Turbo valved out for 1 minute, IVC = 460 nbar.
1155 Connect leak detector to IVC, valve out Turbo.
1155 IVC = 13 pbarL/s.
1312 Leak check around top of the fridge and indium seals, stayed around 5.8 pbar*L/s
1325 Remove clean tent from fridge
1335 Electrical check on DIB1: looks good, nominally the same as April 13, except shorts-to-chassis are all higher, ~0.3 nS for the FET-related ones, around 0.6 nS for bias. I'll chalk this up to the high humidity today.
1505 Leak check around top of the fridge and indium seals, stayed around 9.3 pbar*L/s
1525 Raise main bath
1335 Electrical check on DIB2+accessories: looks good, nominally the same as April 13, except shorts-to-chassis are all higher, 0.2-0.6 nS for the FET-related ones
1700 Attach and tighten all the MB bolts. (Much easier this time.)
