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
Cooled to base three days ago after eighth 5K pumpout.
Taking -80V data overnight.
0935 Check phonon channels - no pulses, looks like they're in their normal states.
1205 Close V6 to stop circulation.
1210 Turn off 3He pump
1230 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1250 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each
1250 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1&3
1255 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.
1300 1K Pot rises to 2.1 K
1330 Open V3; G1 rises, so apparently Still side was at higher pressure than Condenser side.
1434 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = 30.4%
1445 MC reaches 4.1 K then starts rising much faster
1445 G1(fridge) = 915 mbar.
Open V9 to release mixture into dump.
1500 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1510 MC/1Kpot/Sorb = 5.87/4.92/6.2 K and flat
1510 Check pressure in IVC: 0.086 ubar. Star pumping out IVC with turbo pump
1518 End LHe transfer @ MB = 94.4%
1710 MC/1Kpot/Sorb = 10.39/6.66/8.4 K
Turn off MC and Still heaters
