Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt, Nikki
Status Run 76 in progress
Setup Cables 2/3/1 → diverter/nothing/nothing → Side2-readout HV CONN 1/3/2 → HV 1(L)/2(R) → DCRC50(3)/DCRC55(1), DCRC33(2)→HV control, NaI trigger signal → DCRC52(6)
1430 Can't remotely connect to fridge computer, not sure what's wrong.
1500 Fridge computer (spa-K100lab) says “can't find hard drive”. Trying hard reboot.
1520 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 35.4%
1545 Try applying biases of -50V and -100V to detector. Unlike yesterday I'm not seeing a significant rise in phonon baselines. Measuring Vtest shows very little leakage today, 99% of bias is reaching detector. Yesterday was very humid.
1550 Hook up N2 purge to ebox. Rubber hose leads into plastic bag taped over end of ebox. Connect other end of hose to Vent on LN2 Dewar, open valve just barely enough to feel some gas coming out.
1555 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1555 MC/Coldplate = 28.5/140 mK, Still = 1.08 K / 0.095 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2= 107/121 mbar, 1K Pot = 18° / 1.54 K / 10±1 mbar
1611 End LHe transfer @ MB = 95.6%
