- Lab in-personnel: Himangshu, Matt, Derek
| Status | Run 75 prep. |
|---|---|
| 1K Pot isolated. LN2 Traps pumped out. MB in pit, clean tent erected. Cryostat vacuum jacket (CVJ) pumped out. | |
| Finished Tower installation yesterday, pumped IVC overnight. Bolts need to be tightened more. | |
| 1300 | Double-check all three cables at BOB. Initially Cable3 Feedback A had an unstable reading, but it fixed itself spontaneously. All other connections OK. |
| 1330 | Turbo on IVC = 86 nbar. With Turbo valved out for 1 minute, IVC = 1 ubar. |
| 1350 | Attach Leak Detector to IVC, valve out Turbo. IVC =~ 10 pbarL/s |
| 1400 | Start cryocleaning mixture through LN2 Cold Trap 1, V6 = 12.3% |
| 1405 | Increase V6 → 12.6% to restart flow |
| 1420 | Increase V6 → 12.8% to restart flow |
| 1510 | Stop cleaning through Trap 1 after 70 min. G2 flow pressure was 570-775 mbar. Pump mixture to dump. Removed 9.7 mbar. |
| 1425 | Squirt helium to leak check seals at top of fridge stand and IVC indium seals. Looks ok. At one point squirting near the stripline elbow, signal increased 11→29 pbarL/s, but this was not repeatable, so no real evidence of a leak there or elsewhere. |
| 1545 | Solder cable with 4 conductors to Dsub 15 connector for the Goldman thermometer (the other ends will be soldered to the Dsub diverter board). V+/V-/I+/I- → pin 5/14/10/11 → wire Black/Red/Green/White |
