Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Zach
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.
Suspended circulation two days ago and stopped 1K Pot. Pumped out the IVC overnight with fridge >4K. Yesterday started pumping 1K Pot again, didn't open needle valve yet.
1050 Open V9 to let mix from dump back into fridge (through cold LN2 Trap 1)
1455 MC/Coldplate = 157/191 mK, Still = 1.60 K / off-scale mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 24.0/17.8 mbar, 1K Pot = closed / 1.43 K / 2.8±.2 mbar, MB = 40.7 %
1455 IVC = 19 nbar
1500 Open up turbo to IVC, turbo on IVC = 2.5 nbar after a minute.
1508 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 40.2 %
1513 Begin LN2 transfer
1520 1K Pot = 1.42 K / 3.5±1 mbar, MC = 1.56 K, G1/G2 = 23/20 mbar.
1520 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 15°. 1K Pot → 1.53 K / 8 mbar.
1530 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 30°. 1K Pot → 1.56 K / 12 mbar.
1535 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 45°. 1K Pot → 1.59 K / 19 mbar.
1556 Ended LHe transfer @ MB = 89.2%
1645 MC (H35) = 1.56 K, G1(fridge) = 31 mbar. 1K Pot = 45° / 1.60 K / 18±1 mbar.
1645 Close V3 and V9, leaving 24 mbar (G2) in the dump. 3He pump is on.
1650 Start circulation through Trap 1. V6 → 12.6%. Condenser peaks at 142 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.5 K, bounces a little, then climbs to 1.52 K. 1K Pot remains stable. Still pressure dips below max a few times.
1700 V6 → 13.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 218 mbar. MC(H35) fall to 1.46 K. Still(P1) → 50 mbar.
1710 V6 → 13.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 288 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.31 K (wiggled a little at 1.4), Still → 1.30 K / 6.5 mbar.
1715 V6 → 13.8%. Condenser(G1) doesnt really peak, → 200 K. MC(H35) → 0.82 K. Still(P1) → 3.0 mbar.
1735 V6 → 14.5%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 217 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.66 K. Still → 1.16 K / 1.3 mbar.
1745 V6 → 15.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 210 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.35 K. Still → 1.15 K / 0.75 mbar.
1755 V6 → 100%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 203 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.14 K. Still → 1.11 K / 0.14 mbar.
1805 Open V14 to let the remaining mix out of the dump and into circulation. P1(Still) peaks at 1.16 K / 14 mbar then falls again. MC(H35) peaks at 86 mK. Condenser peaks at 212 mbar.
1825 Still = 0.75 mbar. Close V14.
