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 = 0.00 mm
0958 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 210/36/ 191.3 mK, Still = 1.37 K / 0.08 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 269.2/258.3 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 20±1 mbar. MB = 72.1%.
1010 Fill LN2 cold bath.
1017 At 10kHz noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 26/3.8/3.8/67 8e-6. This is q3/q1/q4/q2
At 3kHz (peak) noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 860/44/63/1200e-6
Noise is considerably worse than yesterday.
1036 Start 45 min series of 0V/-9V (bias applied after 60 sec), with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 150/45/70/300 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.
1125 Dial bias down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs.

1420 Place Na-22 source in castle 40 cm from centerline of fridge at detector height
1428 Start 51 min series of 0V/-9V (bias applied after 60 sec), Na-22 @ 40 cm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 150/45/70/300 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.
1525 Dial bias down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs.

interesting, peaks sooner but peak is no higher with Na-22 present
