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 in storage in PAN 443.
Cooled to base yesterday after sixteenth 5K pumpout
Took low-threshold -80V SiHV-triggered bg data overnight. DAQ crash at 7:13 am, had to restart DAQ programs.
1040 MC base = 29.8 mK, peaks are below 30.1 mK. Not sure when spikes started.
1051 Start -82.1 V bg data series ## min long, SiHV-triggered with 1000 initial randoms, 5 Hz in-run randoms, trigger on DCRC1pA threshold 2.
Start series with the Start Button
1050 HV = -91.6 V, Vtest = -21.8 mV, Ileak = -23.9 uA, Vdet = -82.1 V (90%).
1055 DCRC1pA baseline = -0.809 V
1235 MC/Coldplate =57/150 mK, Still = 1.11 K / 0.110 mbar / 0 mW, G1/G2 = 115/125 mbar, 1K Pot = 60° / 1.58 K / 10±1 mbar, MB = 64.6%
1245 Filled LN2 cold trap dewar
1925 Set NaI array threshold window to 7.0 to 11.0 MeV
1925 DCRC1pA baseline = -0.808 V
1930 HV = -91.7 V, Vtest = -22.7 mV, Ileak = -24.9 uA, Vdet = -81.7 V (89%).
2310 HV = -91.7 V, Vtest = -23.9 mV, Ileak = -26.3 uA, Vdet = -81.2 V (89%). Leakage has been increasing somewhat, possibly because it is unseasonably warm and we have been neglecting to hook up the E-box N2 purge (since it doesn't seem necessary when it's cold and the humidity is low).
2315 DCRC1pA baseline = -0.810 V
