Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Matt
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 → DCRCX(4)
0815 Check channels. Some periodic downward spike noise in DCRC1pA, pretty small… DCRC1pD railed, relocking it works. All DCRC3 channels railed…
0820 Zap SQUIDs on DCRCs1&3
0835 Pulses look better after some relocks. Still seeing these little downward spikes though in some channels. And they are exactly 1 ms apart. So seems like interference from some clock or something. Neither the LED rep rate nor the test signal in either DCRC is set to 1 kHz.
As has been happening recently, MC temperature has bounced back up after falling from it's zap spike. Let's let it settle before taking data.
0850 MC = 28.7 mK, still falling
0853 Start 0 V data series 51 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10.
Start series with the Start Button.
0925 MC = 28.4 mK
0945 No longer seeing weird noise spikes in the channels
0950 Dial HV up to -3.76 V using RootSequencer
0952 Start -3.76 V data series 46 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10.
Start series with the Start Button.
0955 MC = 28.3 mK
1015 HV has drifted steadily to -3.80 V
1040 Dial HV to 0V after data series ends
1310 MC/Coldplate = 28.2/146 mK, Still = 1.09 K / 0.100 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 125/124 mbar, 1K Pot = 18° / 1.56 K / 9±1 mbar, MB = 70.3%
1310 Goldman = 72.1 mK @ 632 uV excitation
1315 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
