Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Zach, 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
Pumping out IVC overnight for 5th time.
1400 MB = 34.9 %
1401 MC/1KPot/Sorb = 5.64/>7/9.0 K
1402 Turbo on IVC = 1.4 nbar. With Turbo valved out for 1 minute IVC = 12 nbar.
1403 Fill LN2 cold trap dewar
1404 Close IVC valves on top of fridge
1412 Turn on 4He pump. Open Recovery valve to 4He pump. Pump out line to 1K pot (speedivalve closed).Check pressure in 1K Pot (with V4a open, 4He pump inlet valve closed). 1K Pot = 0.22 bar on mechanical gauge.
1420 Pump out 1K Pot in stages, alternating 1K Pot Speedivalve and V4a, opening V4a in brief spurts to keep 4He pump pressure low (below 5 mbar).
1423 Start pumping 1K Pot continuously
1428 MC = 5.59 K, cooling slowly. 1K Pot = 3.30 K / 3.0 mbar, cooling slowly
1430 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 15°. 1K Pot → 3.07 K / 6.0 mbar
1437 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 30°. 1K Pot → 2.87 K / 8.5 mbar
1442 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 45°. 1K Pot → 2.55 K / 14 mbar
1442 G1/G2 = 397/378 mbar
1551 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 33.3%
1605 Close V3 and V9, leaving 59 mbar mixture in dump
1606 Turn on 3He pump
1611 Start circulation through Trap 1. V6 → 12.6%. Condenser peaks at 309 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.54 K. Still → 1.57 K / 50 mbar.
1622 V6 → 13.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 260 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.37 K. Still(P1) → 1.40 K / 19 mbar.
1632 V6 → 13.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 245 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.20 K. Still(P1) → 1.19 K / 4.5 mbar.
1639 V6 → 13.8%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 209 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.01 K. Still(P1) → 1.07 K / 1.6 mbar.
1648 Condenser and still went up a bit, now G1 = 211 and Still(P1) → 1.15 K / 1.9 mbar
1650 V6 → 14.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 219 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.66 K. Still(P1) → 1.12 K / 1.1 mbar.
1659 V6 → 15.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 214 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.35 K. Still(P1) → 1.13 K / 0.65 mbar.
1716 V6 → 100%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 194 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.19 K. Still(P1) → 1.07 K / 0.14 mbar.
1820 MC = 28.7 mK and pretty flat, Condenser = 144 and pretty flat. 1K Pot = 1.58 K / 14±1 mbar.
1820 Open V14 to pull the rest of the mixture out of the dump into circulation.
MC rises to 80 mK, Still peaks above 50 mbar then falls again, Condenser rises to 232 mbar. 1K Pot unaffected.
as usual we'll wait till Still is below 1 mbar then close V14.
1855 Still = 0.5 mbar.
close V14
