Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia and Matt
Status Run 74 in progress. First cooldown after 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.
Position of Am source: y = -30.00 mm
0958 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 71.4/35/ 191 mK, Still = 1.38 K / 0.08 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 272.6/256.3 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.61 K / 20±1 mbar. MB = 60.9%.
1011 Fill LN2 cold bath.
1037 At 10kHz noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 1.3/1.1/1.4/3.8e-6. This is q3/q1/q4/q2
At 3kHz (peak) noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 5.6/1.4/1.7/11.2 e-6
Noise is lower than last time.
1049 Start 49 min series of 0V/-12V (bias applied after 60 sec), y_Am = -30.00 mm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 50/50/50/70 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.
1140 Dial bias down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs
1159 Do mvNwait -4steps×152 times, 40 second wait, with dwell = 40 and power = 6.8 V. (Around 5.93 mm/hour)
This sequence will take 1hour41min20sec and will move the source a total distance of 10.02 mm. Should end at 1:40 pm.
Mean Tower temperature settles around 1.78 K during move.
1341 Move sequence ends, Tower starts cooling
07210809_1049. No line seen in q4, consistent with source being over q3 instead.
1600 Tower = 96 mK, still cooling slowly. MC = 35.1 mK
1615 Start 46 min series of 0V/-12V (bias applied after 60 sec), y_Am = - 40.03 mm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 50/50/40/70 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.
Data looks OK, so let's send the source all the way back to y=0
1718 Do mvNwait +4steps×607 times, 40 second wait, with dwell = 40 and power = 6.8 V. (Around 5.93 mm/hour)
This sequence will take 6hour44min40sec and will move the source a total distance of 40.03 mm. Should end at 12:02 am.
Mean Tower temperature 1.68-1.76 K during move
07210809_1615. We see the line now in q2, no line in other channels.
