Preparation visit before Run6

Back to the NIKA run 6

In May 2013, 3 people come to the 30m to install the new 2mm array and replace the 1mm cold amplifier. Then, a cooling down will occur and the NIKA prototype stays cold until the Run6 proper starts.

Tuesday 14-May-2013: 10h (during maintenance) Open cryostat, replace array at 2mm and the 1mm cold amplifier. Install the new DC cables for the amplifier. Install a new 4K magnetic screen. Install electronics rack in the cabin and connect. Mount the anti-vibration legs on the pumping stage. In the evening, start cooling down.

15-17 May 2013: cooling down

18 May 2013: check resonances in a dark configuration and end the preparation as soon as it is ready. The cryostat stays cold until the observational run 6 in June.

Alessandro Monfardini, Martino Calvo and Nello D'Addabbo come by car from Grenoble.
