Back to the NIKArun12

January 19th 2015

10h. The first part of the NIKA Polar Team arrived: Andrea, Alessia, Nicolas.

12h. Helping the open pool team to make observations.

January 20th 2015

10h. The rest of the NIKA polar team arrived: Vincent and Philippe.

11h. mppsync does not work with the current version of the acquisition. We update the version 6470 only on the mppsync instrument and everything started to work.

13h. Polariser, HWP and WG put into the beam at the nominal position.

14h. We performed several tests to check the best configuration of the polariser. The question was: is it really necessary to put an aluminum plate in order to mask all the mechanical parts which turns in front of the cryostat? If we do this, we must recule the WG by 1-1.5 cm in the direction of the cryostat window running the risk to loose some sky photons.

In the following plot some results of our tests (the background is 300K, the mechanical rotation is 3Hz):
