| Status | Beginning Run 75. |
|---|---|
| 1K Pot isolated. MB raised. Cryostat vacuum jacket (CVJ) pumped out. | |
| 1135 | Check contents of warm LN2 Trap 2: 79.4 mbar! What happened??? Pump out with Scroll Pump. |
| 1150 | Start cryocleaning mixture through LN2 Cold Trap 1, V6 = 12.2% |
| 1155 | Increase V6 → 12.6% to restart flow |
| 1240 | Increase V6 → 12.7% to restart flow |
| 1255 | Stop cleaning through Trap 1 after 65 min. G2 flow pressure was 560-730 mbar. Pump mixture to dump. Removed 8.4 mbar. |
| 1330 | Check contents of warm LN2 Trap 2 again, see if it has crept up in the last 2 hours. 1.6 mbar. Pump out with Scroll Pump. If this actually is a steady leak, the rate of the leak is roughly consistent with how much it went up over the weekend. Pumping out Trap 2 only takes it down by 0.5 mbar, so it may be more accurate to say only 0.5 mbar leaked in over the last two hours. |
| 1415 | Check contents of mostly warm LN2 Trap 1: 8.6 mbar. I'll let is sit for a bit in case it's not fully warm. |
| 1440 | LN2 Trap 1 pressure has not increased, if anything it has fallen by about 0.4 mbar. Pump it out with Scroll Pump. |
| 1505 | While pumping out Trap 1 it actually looks like 7.4 mbar was removed. I guess we'll conservatively call it 8.4 mbar. |
| 1505 | Turn off 3He pump. (No time for another cleaning, I have to go home to attend a meeting.) |
