- 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 | |
| 0937 | Tower/MC/Coldplate = 168.4/36.2/190.9 mK, Still = 1.38 K / 0.075 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 297.5/267.3 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.58 K / 20±1 mbar. MB = 32.4%. |
| 0941 | Fill LN2 cold bath. |
| 0956 | At 10kHz noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 22/4.7/2.5/83 8e-6. This is q3/q1/q4/q2 At 3kHz (peak) noise in DCRC3qI/qO/DCRC1qI/qO = 640/41/58/1100e-6 |
| Noise has been almost the same as yesterday | |
| 1004 | Start 45 min series of 0V/-14,-13 0/-6V (initial bias applied after 60 sec, breakdown seen, reduced to -13 after one minute, change to -6 at 4 min), with Na-22 source at 80 cm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 120/60/45/260 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. |
| 1050 | Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs. |
|
| Series 07210826_1004 bias -14 V at 60 seconds, saw breakdown and adjusted to -13 V, then change to -6 V at 4 minutes. |
| 1335 | Start 45 min series of 0V/-12 0/-8 0/-6V (started at -12V then bias applied after 120 sec and then 10 minutes later went down to -6V), with Na-22 source at 80 cm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 100/40/40/270 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. |
|---|---|
| 1427 | Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 20 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs. |
| 1456 | Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 23.6 % |
| 1529 | End LHe transfer @ MB = 90.4 % |
| 1540 | Breakdown test. Start data and look at random triggers. Increase bias on Side 2 from 0/0V to 0/-18V, dialing up slow and steady (reached max in about 2 minutes). At 0/-18V breakdown noise was seen. Dial bias back down, after about a minute reach 0/-15.5V. At that point breakdown noise disappears. |
| 1544 | Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs. |
| 1622 | Start 45 min series of 0V/-10V, -6V (bias applied after 60 sec and then wait 11 min later went down at -6V), with Na-22 source at 80 cm, with 1000 beginning randoms, trigger threshold 70/40/40/200 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. |
| 1716 | Dial HV down to 0V and flash detector for 10 minutes with DCRC1&3 LEDs. |
