Previous Day

  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu, Yan
Status 1K valve leak checked and leak rate < 1e-6 mbar L/s. Pumped out IVC and CVJ overnight.
1411 Cryocleaning ongoing. Contaminants from yesterday ~ 150 mbar. Pumped out with scroll pump. Restarted another cycle
1412 Reconnect exchange gas port to turbo pump Tee assembly.
15xx Fixed the main bath He level meter. the power button needs to be pulled out before pressed in. Also, resoldered the V– wire on the DB9 connector.
1622 Collected mixture. Heat gun on the cold trap. reading ~200 mbar. Pumped out with scroll. Doing another cycle
1822 Collected mixture. Heat gun on the cold trap. reading ~100 mbar. Pumped out with scroll.
17xx Flushed main bath and 1k pot with helium to 500 mbar. pumped out to <1 mbar with scroll.
1830 Flushed main bath and 1k pot with helium to 500 mbar again. pumped out to < 1 mbar with scroll.
1840 Put >1 bar of helium in bath and pot for overpressure overnight. Closed main bath valve, speedivalve, and needlevalve.
1855 Doing another cycle of cryocleaning.
1900 Also did electrical continuity check for all three cables (see results below). Only did squid/feedback/qet check. Did not do LED, heater, source mover check.
2000 Pump mixture back into the dump. Closed V3, V5, and V2. Turn off circulation pump. Took out the cold trap and let it warm to room temperature.
17xx Starting electric check.
