Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Zach, Himangshu
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 trigger window: 7.6-11.2 MeV
Cooled to base two days ago after fourteenth 5K pumpout.
1025 Close 1K Pot needle valve
1030 Open V3 to let mixture from Condenser side into Still side.
1035 MC = 1.01 K
1035 Turn on Still and MC heaters to 20 mW each
1035 Turn off DAQ programs and unplug DCRCs 1&3
1040 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.
1124 MC/1KPot = 3.82/3.72
1124 G1(fridge) = 722 mbar. Open V9 to release mixture into dump
1205 MC temp starts to rise more quickly
1245 MC/1KPot = 6.03/4.37. Temperatures are relatively flat now.
1245 Check pressure in IVC: 0.086 ubar. Start pumping out IVC with turbo pump
1424 MC = 10.4 Turn off MC and Still heaters
1444 Filled LN2 cold trap bath
