Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Pramod and Giulia and Matt
Status Run 74 in progress. First cooldown aftr IVC rebuild.
Tower thermometer is reading high, probably this is a thermometer problem and the actual temperature is much lower. High noise in some of the charge channels.
Setup: DIB1/2+acc → SL 41/43 → 3.2 MHz filters → cables 2/3 → nothing/Source_mover_board+HV_diverter_board → DCRC50(3)/55(1). Kepco 40V supplye → HV BNC. No lead/poly shield. Currently both DCRCs are on.
1123 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 113.2/34.8/ 192 mK, Still = 1.42 K / 0.075 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 284.1.6/262.8 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.62 K / 20±1 mbar. MB = 32.1%.
1130 Fill LN2 cold trap bath.
1145 At 10kHz noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 1.69/1.09/1.62/4.57 e-6. This is q3/q1/q4/q2
At 3kHz (peak) noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 11/2/3.5/34 e-6
These are similar to yesterday.
1300 Put Na-22 source back into safe
1310 Turn on MC heater to 500 μW
1340 Tower temperature mostly flat. Tower/MC = 0.68/0.73 K. Condenser → 372 mbar and plateaus.
1345 Start data then abort, need to adjust trigger thresholds.
1350 Tower = 0.66 K
1350 Start data then abort, need to adjust trigger thresholds.
1353 Start 45 min series of 0V/-15V (bias applied after 60 sec), Tower @ 0.66 K, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 80/70/60/70 on DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO, 5Hz in-run randoms, with 1.6384 ms pulses (8192 length) and 400 us prepulse (500 length).
Start sequence with Start button.
1441 Dial bias down to 0V and flash detector for 60 seconds

1445 Turn off MC heater
1605 Turn on MC heater to 200 μW
1625 Tower = 250 mK, still rising but leveling off
1625 Increase MC heater to 250 μW
1655 Tower has mostly settled, currently 0.31 K. MC = 0.33 K
1656 Start 45 min series of 0V/-15V (bias applied after 60 sec), Tower @ 0.31 K, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 80/70/60/70 on DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO, 5Hz in-run randoms, with 1.6384 ms pulses (8192 length) and 400 us prepulse (500 length).
Start sequence with Start button.
1725 Tower/MC = 0.31/0.33 K
1744 Turn off MC heater
1747 Dial bias down to 0V and flash detector for 60 seconds
