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)
Lead/poly shield fully assembled. Boron-filled socks covering NaI detectors.
PuBe behind lead wall on West side of lead/poly shield.
NaI trigger window: 7.6-11.2 MeV
fourth 5K pumpout two days ago. Tried to cool to base yesterday but probably started too warm and didn't have 1KPot needle valve open wide enough. Stopped circulation and left 1K pot on overnight.
1430 Unplug DCRCs 1&3
1430 MC = 2.18 K. Condenser(G1) = 92 mbar. 1K Pot = 1.57 K / 9.5 mbar
1437 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 34.6%
1KPot temporarily rises → 1.63 K / 20 mbar, then falls back after a few minutes
1515 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 45°. 1K Pot → 1.56 K / 12 mbar
1522 End LHe transfer @ MB = 86.7%
1610 MC = 1.73 K. Condenser(G1) = 35 mbar. 1K Pot = 1.59 K / 16 mbar
3He pump is still running and V3 and V9 are still closed. Most of the mix is out of the dump and in the fridge. Ready to start circulation.
1810 Start circulation through Trap 1. V6 → 12.6%. Condenser peaks at 300 mbar. Still(P1) → 50 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.52 K.
1820 V6 → 13.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 375 mbar. Still(P1) spikes a few times then falls to 10 mbar. Temporary downswing in 1K Pot. MC(H35) → 1.20 K.
1830 V6 → 13.4%. Condenser(G1) = 250 mbar (doesn't really peak). Still(P1) → 3 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.00 K.
1840 V6 → 13.8%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 227 mbar. Still(P1) → 2 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.70 K.
1845 V6 → 14.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 231 mbar. Still(P1) → 1.2 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.40 K.
1850 V6 → 15.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 229 mbar. Still(P1) → 0.6 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.21 K.
1900 V6 → 100.%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 238 mbar. Still(P1) → 0.2 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.10 K.
1900 Open V14 to pull remaining mix from dump to circulation. Still → 9.5 mbar then falls again.
1920 Still = 0.8 mbar. Close V14. MC = 38 mK
2245 MC = 26.7 mK, Condenser = 158 mbar, Still = 0.11 mbar, 1K Pot = 1.60 K / 16 mbar
