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.
NaI trigger window: 7.6-11.2 MeV
Cooled down 3 days ago after fifth 5K pumpout. Taking -4V NaI-triggered data overnight
0840 MC base around 30.2 mK, spikes as high as 70 mK
0845 Check phonon traces. No pulses seen, all baselines elevated, around -0.7 to -0.6 V. Looks like the channels are in the normal state due to He films, as expected. Will have to look at overnight data series to determine when they first went bad.
0900 HV = -4.1 V, Vtest = -0.1 mV, Ileak = -0.1 uA, Vdet = -4.1 V (99%).
0905 Dial HV down to 0V using RootSequencer
1428 MC/Coldplate = 32.0/150 mK, Still = 1.13 K / 0.080 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 138/128 mbar, 1K Pot = 60° / 1.59 K / 13±1 mbar, MB = 65.3%
1430 Fill LN2 cold trap dewar
I will begin another warm up and pump out
1433 Close V6 to stop circulation.
1439 V6 is now fully closed (light is off on IGH, Still pressure is rising, Condenser pressure falling). Turn off 3He pump
1440 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1445 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1450 MC = 0.45 K
1450 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each
1455 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1&3
1500 Close 1K Pot speedivalve, V4a, 4He pump inlet valve. Turn off 4He pump. Close recovery valve to 4He pump outlet. NOTE: remember to open recovery valve when the pump is turned back on.
1530 MC/1KPot/sorb = 3.54/3.45/4.3
1530 G1(fridge) = 535 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump
1625 MC temp starts to rise more quickly
1640 MC/1KPot = 5.65/4.35. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1640 Check pressure in IVC: 0.10 ubar. Start pumping out IVC with turbo pump
1650 MC temp rising
1837 MC/1KPot = 10.0/>7 K. Turn off MC and Still heaters
