9h00 UT: Santiago stars operations to cool down the NIKA cryostat in contact with Andrea and Martino from Grenoble
STATUS OF THE INSTRUMENT
9h00 UT: Connection with automat restored. It does not work well, we lost connection few times in the morning. We probably need to change but for the moment we choose to continue.
9h00 UT: Status of the Camera pulse tube : J5=352mbar
09h30 UT: Santiago connected the cryostat to the leak detector.
10h00 UT: Pumped the dilution circuit (until Jpi=8x10e-3mbar). Trap pumped and emptied.
10h30 UT: Warm impedance test: about 30mbar/min at 3bar. Consistent with the last cooling down.
11h00 UT: Circulation throught the capillar starts.
12h00 UT: Leak test: OK
13h30 UT: M5 and M6 mounted. Optical alignment of the cryostat with Santiago, OK.
14h00 UT. Pulse Tube on. Low pressure and High pressure OK. Mixture circulates at 2.95bar (J4) and 950mbar (J2 with preref on).
16h20 UT: Lowering to 850mbar. Keep this value for the night.
17h40 UT: T4K=272K. Tstill=280K.
