  • Lab in-personnel: Himangshu
Status Run 84 beginning, 2nd LHe transfer yesterday, mixture in fridge with 3He pump off
1101 Fill LN2 cold trap bath
1121 open 1K needle valve: 30 deg, MC(Cernox) = 3.5K and linearly falling, Still = 1.779 K, 1K pot = 2.42 K , P2 = 15 mbar
1125 MC(H35) = 2.91K, Still = 1.779 K, 1K pot = 2.28 K , P2 = 15 mbar, G1/G2 = 300mbar/300 mbar
1128 1k needle valve = 45 deg, P2 = 30 mbar
Leak checker 5.1 e-9 mbar L/s, with turbo pumping
1133 MC(H35) = 2.55K, Still = 2.42 K, 1K pot = 1.69 K , P2 = 30 mbar, G1/G2 = 200mbar/200 mbar. Closing the dump valve V9.
1150 MC(H35) = 2.11K, Still = 2.05 K, 1K pot = 1.56 K , P2 = 40 mbar.
1157 MC(H35) = 2.11K and flat, start circulation
1207 Stop turbo pumping on IVC. Leak detector = 6.7e-8 mbar L/s, before closing IVC valves on top of fridge
1212 MC(H35) = 1.37K, Still =1.4 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 50 mbar.
1215 MC(H35) = 1.16K, Still =1.17 K, 1K pot = 1.69 K , P2 = 40 mbar.
1218 Last time (MC(Cernox) → 1.14 K. Still(P1) → 1.10 K / max mbar, Coldplate = 1.05 K, 1K Pot = 1.71 K (3667 ohm))
This time MC(H35) = 1.06K, Still =1.067 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar., Coldplate = 4690 kohm
1224 open V6 now
1224 MC(H35) = 0.845K, Still =0.817 K, 1K pot = 1.689 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = 5780 kohm
1228 MC(H35) = 541 mK, Still =4356 kohm/ 0.481 K, 1K pot = 1.687 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = 7180 kohm
1233 MC(H35) = 263 mK, Still =4390 kohm/1.07 K, 1K pot = 1.69 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = 7616 kohm
1239 MC(H35) = 136 mK, Still =4376 kohm/1.08 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = – kohm, Tower = 162 mK
1246 MC(H35) = 84 mK, Still =4361 kohm/1.09 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = – kohm, Tower = 128 mK
1251 MC(H35) = 58 mK, Still =4393 kohm/1.07 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = – kohm, Tower = 113 mK
1256 MC(H35) = 40 mK, Still =4383 kohm/1.07 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = – kohm, Tower = 101 mK
1301 MC(H35) = 33 mK, Still =4383 kohm/1.07 K, 1K pot = 1.68 K , P2 = 40 mbar, Coldplate = – kohm, Tower = 96 mK, P1 = 300 mTorr
1317 Tower =90mK, Connected Cable 1 and 3 with RevE, tower temp jumped to 218 mK. Removed RevE board from adapter board, tower temp start to go down
1332 With DAQ ON, the Tower temp is stable at 128 mK, with a slight trend upwards. I will remove the DAQ for now and see how low we can get the tower to go.
1343 Tower = 88mK/ 23.69 kohm
1358 Tower = 86.3 mK / 24.53 kOhms
