Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt
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)
Lead shield in place. Am Source y = 20.01 mm
1220 Tower temperature has been high and wavering, between 50 and 54 mK. Try turning off 15V Power on all DCRCs. As seen before this causes temperature to rise, to 0.6 K. Then turn DCRC1 15V Power back on - this causes it to cool back to a good base, below 49 mK. Weird.
1450 Goldman = 47.5 mK. Adjust QET biases based on mini-IbIs trends versus temperature to target dP/dI = 1.0 uV on all channels.
QET biases = 249.7/324/285.9/190.9/169.5/169.7/220.4/0/212.7/153.5/263.5/198.9
Adjust driver offsets so all baselines are around -0.9 to -1.0 V
1458 Start 0V data series, 39 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, no in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pB threshold 10.
Start series with the Start Button.
1501 Goldman = 47.4 mK. Do in-run QET bias adjustment.
QET biases = 250/324.3/286.3/191.3/169.8/170/220.5/0/212.9/153.7/263.7/199.2
1518 Goldman = 47.5 mK. Do in-run QET bias adjustment.
QET biases = 249.7/324/285.9/190.9/169.5/169.7/220.4/0/212.7/153.5/263.5/198.9
1525 Goldman = 47.6 mK. Do in-run QET bias adjustment.
QET biases = 249.5/323.7/285.6/190.5/169.2/169.4/220.3/0/212.5/153.3/263.3/198.5
1531 Goldman = 47.7 mK. Do in-run QET bias adjustment.
QET biases = 249.2/323.4/285.2/190.1/168.8/169.2/220.2/0/212.3/153.2/263.1/198.2
1535 Goldman = 47.8 mK. Do in-run QET bias adjustment.
QET biases = 249/323.1/284.9/189.7/168.5/168.9/220/0/212.1/153/262.9/197.9
Note: accidentally set DCRC1pA too low briefly, had to relock it, so it was dead for a minute.
1620 Goldman/Tower/MC(H35)/Coldplate = 48.5/162/33.6/182 mK, Still = 1.436±0.002 K / 0.110 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 241/231 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.61 K / 17±1 mbar, MB = 22.9%.
Coldplate and Still are much lower than before, I guess because of turning off the 15V power on DCRCs 3&4
1635 Today's data wasn't copied to /byseries, I guess maybe LazyLogger isn't running…
1640 Restart MIDAS. LazyLogger seems to be running now. Data is being moved to /byseries.
1629 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 22.9%
1655 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1706 End LHe transfer @ MB = 90.9%
1710 Goldman = 44.0 mK, I think this is the lowest it's been
1735 Goldman/MC = 43.1/33.8 mK
