Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu, Megan, Zach
Status Run 76 finished
Setup DCRC33(2)→HV control, NaI trigger signal → DCRCX(4)
IVC closed and Turbo pumping for a while. No tower - this was just for a leak test.
1300 Soldered 4 wire connection to new RoX Ruthenium Oxide thermometer
1400 Obtained the 2d motor testing equipment from Scott's office
1500 Connected the Y axis of the 2D source mover to the PCB board using pins (did not solder).
1540 Move one of the small Am241 pellets from the safe into the clean room
1600 Prepare setup to test how the movement of the 2D source mover changes with resistance
1610 Try to install Am241 pellet source in the 1D source mover carriage. The diameter of the carriage is a little large, so add some layers of kapton tape. However the carriage is not deep enough to hold both the pellet source and the collimator disk, they stick out a few mm, I could maybe use a longer screw and some tape to mount the carriage.
