Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia. Derek
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 behind lead wall on West side of lead/poly shield.
Restarted circulation three days ago after a fridge failure (impedance blockage) a week ago.
MC temperature is showing random temperature spikes several minutes apart. Currently the minimum is around 29.6 mK. Most peaks are below 35 mK, though one at 18:45 went to 55 mK and one at 22:45 went to 80 mK and one a bit over 85 mK at 9:32am.
1338 MC/Coldplate = 35.1/154 mK, Still = 1.17 K / 0.130 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 163/155 mbar, 1K Pot = 50° / 1.69 K / 42±2 mbar, MB = 22.5%
1346 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1402 Begin LHe transfer @MB = 22.4%
1446 End LHe transfer @MB = 90.4%
1500 We keep seeing spikes in MC temperature, it has been oscillating between 75-33 mK with spikes around 60 mK or above every few minutes
