Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Giulia
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 source behind lead wall on West side of lead/poly shield.
NaI scan running overnight
Cooled to base yesterday after fourteenth 5K pumpout.
Temperature spikes began at 8:55 am
1615 MC/Coldplate =27.8/144 mK, Still = 1.09 K / 0.110 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 121/115 mbar, 1K Pot = 60° / 1.57 K / 12±1 mbar, MB = 63.3%
1620 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1620 Plugged DCRCs in.
1820 Turned on the DAQ programs and checked the phonon channels. DCRC3 channels look ok but DCRC1 channels are all railed low. Tried zapping a couple of times but they are still railed. Need to try powercycling the DCRC.
