Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu
Status Run 77 in progress. Warmed up two days ago, first 10K pumpout. MC(H35) temp settled to 5.47 K overnight.
Setup To Be Cable 2/1/3 → diverter/nothing/nothing → DCRC50(3)/DCRC55(1)/DCRCX(4)
1120 MC(H35) = baseline of 36 mK with most spikes upto 55mK
1123 Unplugged the DCRCs and will plug each Cable to DCRC55(1) which is the only all channels working DCRC at this moment
Plugged in DCRC55(1) to nothing to Cable 1. All channels showing noise. PA SQUID donot show modulation.
1145 Plugged in DCRC55(1) to nothing to Cable 2. PB and PD shows noise traces, PA and PC not showing traces.
1152 Plugged in DCRC55(1) to nothing to Cable 3. PA, PB and PC is showing noise traces. PD still not responding.
1158 Plugged in all DCRCs Cable 2/1/3 → diverter/nothing/nothing → DCRC50(3)/DCRC55(1)/DCRCX(4)
DCRC1 all channel show traces. DCRC3 PB and PD showing traces. DCRC4 no channels showing traces. Power cycling DCRC4.
1207 DCRC4 now showing traces on PA, PB and PC. PD not showing any traces yet.
DCRC1 PA/PB/PC/PD = Side2pC/Side2pF/Side1pC/Side1pF
DCRC3 PA/PB/PC/PD = Side1pE /Side1pB /Side1pD/ Side2pE
DCRC4 PA/PB/PC/PD = Side2pB/ Side2pA/ Side1pA/ Side2pD
1305 Zapping SQUIDs on DCRC1
Procedure: Go to MidasDAQ/scripts/pysequencer folder and run the ZAP.py script with appropriate arguments. Example: python ZAP.py –dcrc 3 –chan A,B,C,D –onoff 2,30 –iter 1 –uid 1461084535119
Copy the printed commands and paste it to testzap.msl file in the MIDAS sequencer. Save and load the script. Start the script.
1311 Zapped SQUIDs on DCRC3. Saw jump in Still pressure (P1) as well as jump in baseline of trace in one phonon channel of the DCRC
1325 After Zapping all the Squids I tried tuning the SQUIDS and found the following SQUIDS+channels working
DCRC1 PA/PB/PC/PD = (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pC/Side2pF/Side1pC/Side1pF
DCRC3 PA/PB/PC/PD = Side1pE /Side1pB /Side1pD/ Side2pE
DCRC4 PA/PB/PC/PD = (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pB/ (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pA/ Side1pA/ Side2pD
1520 Tried quickIbIs to see which channels are showing pulses.
DCRC1 PA/PB/PC/PD = (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pC/Side2pF(not transitioning)/(not transitioning)Side1pC/(not transitioning)Side1pF
DCRC3 PA/PB/PC/PD = Side1pE /Side1pB /Side1pD/ Side2pE(not transitioning)
DCRC4 PA/PB/PC/PD = (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pB/ (SQUID is not showing modulation)Side2pA/ Side1pA/ Side2pD
1550 I checked DCRC3 first and then DCRC1. Since I donot see transition in DCRC1, i switched back to DCRC3 to look for pulses, which were gone by now. All channels seem to have lost transitioning at this point which indicates He films issue. MC(H35) baseline is still at 35 mK
Refilled LN2 for Cold trap 1
