Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia and Derek
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. Lead shield erected, 4 walls. Currently both DCRCs are on.
Position of Am source: y = 0.0 mm
1034 Tower/MC/Coldplate = 176.2/36.4/192.6 mK, Still = 1.38 K / 0.075 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 297.5/271.6 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.58 K / 20±1 mbar. MB = 64.5%.
1044 Fill LN2 cold bath.
1052 At 10kHz noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 24/5.7/4.3/72 8e-6. This is q3/q1/q4/q2
At 3kHz (peak) noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 510/140/70/1200 e-6.
Noise is considerably higher than yesterday.
1106 Start 45 min series of 0V/-8V - 0V/-10V 0V/-12V - 0V/-14V (bias applied after 60 sec, then 10 minute wait, increase to -10, then wait other 10 minutes and increase to -12 and again wait other 10 minutes and increase to -14), with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 95/50/45/270 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.
Series 07210825_1106, increasing the bias every 10 minutes.
1152 Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs.
1304 Start 45 min series of 0/-12V, -8 (bias applied after 60 sec, then 10 minute wait), with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 100/85/50/320 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.
1350 Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs.
Series 07210825_1304, start -12 V at the very beginning, change to -8 V at 10 minutes.
NOTE: looking at the logs from Omni_Logger.vi, the initial bias was applied at 13:02, so this series was actually started 2 minutes late.
1456 Start 45 min series of 0/-12V, -8 (bias applied after 60 sec, then 10 minute wait), with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 110/60/50/310 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.
1611 Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs.
Series 07210825_1456 bias -12 V at 60 seconds then change to -8 V at 10 minutes.
