Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt, Himangshu, Giulia, Giovanna
Status Run 75 in progress
Setup Tower Faces 5/3/2 → Cables 2/1/3 → nothing/diverter_board/nothing → DCRC55(1)/DCRC50(3)/DCRCx(4)
1110 Goldman/Tower/MC/Coldplate = 57.7/137/37.7/224 mK, Still = 1.74 K / 0.140 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 147/157 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.64 K / 24±2 mbar. MB = 23.4%
Coldplate and Still thermometers reading anomalously high, as they sometimes do (always both at the same time)
1130 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1455 See pulses in DCRC3pA after adjusting QET bias to 150 uA. Good - that's one of the 2 that wasn't working yesterday.
1515 Tune SQUID on DCRC3pA. We are not using the controls on the SQUID-tuning GUI - instead we are doing all the adjustments on the MIDAS browser pages (ODB and DCRC Control).
1532 Tune SQUID on DCRC3pB.
1540 Tune SQUID on DCRC3pC.
1555 Tune SQUID on DCRC3pD.
1605 Tune SQUID on DCRC4pA.
1610 Tune SQUID on DCRC4pB.
1615 Tune SQUID on DCRC4pC.
1625 Tune SQUID on DCRC4pD.
So - all SQUIDs tuned except DCRC1pA - it looks like we can't read the preamp signal on that one. All channels have pulses except DCRC3pD (Side1pF) which is unresponsive to changes in QET bias, suggesting that the TES is an open circuit.
1631 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 14.6%
1724 End LHe transfer @ MB = 92.5%
