Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia, 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)
Lead/poly shield fully assembled. Boron-filled socks covering NaI detectors.
PuBe source behind lead wall.
NaI trigger window -t10760 -T15760 (7.6-11.2 MeV)
0830 Check phonon channels. Relock three of them to get them back to the usual ~-0.8V baselines.
0836 Start 0 V PuBe data series 122 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10 (Si-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
0840 MC = 29.0 mK
0950 MC/Coldplate = 28.9/152 mK, Still = 1.08 K / 0.095 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 116/112 mbar, 1K Pot = 60° / 1.55 K / 8.0±0.5 mbar, MB = 72.2%
1000 Filled LN2 cold trap dewar.
1040 Dial HV up to -230 V using RootSequencer for prebias.
1045 Dial HV down to -200 V (nominal) -197.3 V (true)
1055 Check Vtest on the HV board: -37 mV, a bit high, but not too bad
1112 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 100 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA threshold 20 (NaI-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
1145 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -25 mV, better
1220 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -30 mV, higher, but not too bad
1254 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 8 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10 (Si-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
1303 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 64 good minutes long (see below), with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA threshold 20 (NaI-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
1220 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -19 mV, better
1408 After Dump 64 something weird happened to the data - dumps before this were ~7MB, after this they jumped to 40-70MB.
Answer: Zach and Kitty changed the NaI DAQ firmware at this time and reset the trigger conditions.
1453 After Dump 108 dumps are empty. Tower_FE crashed, apparently.
1600 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -34 mV
1652 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 6 min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10 (Si-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
1659 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 218 minutes long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA threshold 20 (NaI-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
1700 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -27 mV
1745 Check Vtest on the HV board: around -10 mV. May have gotten better because I tightened up the purge bag a little.
2041 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series ## min long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC3pD threshold 10 (Si-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
2045 MC = 29.1 mK
2048 Start -197.3 V PuBe data series 575 minutes long, with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC4pA threshold 20 (NaI-triggered).
Start series with the Start Button.
