Previous Day

* Lab in-personnel: Zach

1333 MC(H35) = 5.54 K, G1/G2 = 543/503 mbar, MB = -1.0%
Begin another cooldown
1340 Begin LHe transfer @ MB = -1.0%
1342 Fill LN2 cold trap dewar
1344 Turn on 4He pump. Open Recovery valve to 4He pump. Pump out line to 1K pot (open V4a, close 1K pot speedivalve and slowly open the 4He-pump inlet valve).Close the 4He-pump inlet valve once done. Check pressure in 1K Pot (with V4a open, 4He pump inlet valve closed). 1K Pot = 0.23 bar (-23 inHg) on mechanical gauge.
1346 Pump out 1K Pot slowly, opening the 4He pump valve until it just starts to make noise, then opening it more when it becomes more quiet.
1348 Open 4He pump valve fully
1350 Turbo on IVC = 1.0 nbar, after being valved out for 1 min IVC = 10 nbar, open turbo again and close valves to IVC
1356 MC(H35) = 5.49 K, cooling slowly, 1K Pot = 3.3 K / 1.8 mbar, MB = 34.8% enough to start 1K Pot.
1357 Open 1K Pot needle valve → 15° (half a unit mark). 1K Pot (P2) → 2.85 K / 7.5 mbar
1403 MC temp dropping
1405 MC(H35) = 3.23 K, Open 1K Pot needle valve → 30°. 1K Pot → 2.15 K / 22 mbar.
1420 MC(H35)/1Kpot = 2.81/1.67 K, MC temp dropping linearly. G1/G2 = 216/215 mbar . 1K Pot(P2) = 20 mbar.
1429 Ended LHe transfer @ MB = 95.6%
1438 MC temp is around the He transition point (2.17K), P2 = 13 mbar
1511 MC(H35)/1Kpot = 1.90/1.61 K and flat. G1/G2 = 48.6/51.0 mbar . 1K Pot(P2) = 20 mbar.
1512 Close V3 and V9, leaving 51.0 mbar mixture in dump.
1513 Turn on 3He pump
1515 Start circulation through Trap 1. V6 → 12.6%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 329 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.45 K. Still → 1.48 K / 26 mbar.
1525 V6 → 13.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 244 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.25 K. Still(P1) → 1.28 K / 6.0 mbar.
1530 V6 → 13.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 252 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.14 K. Still(P1) → 1.17 K / 3.8 mbar.
1535 V6 → 13.8%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 248 mbar. MC(H35) → 1.05 K. Still(P1) → 1.12 K / 2.2 mbar.
1540 V6 → 14.4%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 254 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.85 K. Still(P1) → 1.11 K / 1.2 mbar.
1545 V6 → 15.0%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 256 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.62 K. Still(P1) → 1.11 K / 0.75 mbar.
1553 V6 → 100.%. Condenser(G1) peaks at 257 mbar. MC(H35) → 0.24 K. Still(P1) → 1.05 K / 0.2 mbar.
1639 MC(H35) = 31.8 mK, Tower(Rox) = 64.9 mK and pretty flat, G1 = 172 mbar and pretty flat. 1K Pot = 1.61 K / 20 mbar.
1641 Open V14 to pull the rest of the mixture out of the dump into circulation.
1644 MC(H35) rises to 75 mK (Tower Rox to 89 mK), Still rises to 70 mbar then falls again, Condenser(G1) rises to 255 mbar. 1K Pot unaffected.
1733 P1 = 0.38 mbar (<1), close V14
1553 Electrical checks on the SQUIDs and QET using BOB
