The doors into the clean room have been sealed by temporary walls for the renovation project which will start in the room next door. Below is a picture of the wall which has sheet rock on top of a plastic cover surrounding metal studs. The wall has been calked on the outside to prevent dust from coming through.

HVAC temperature setting was dropped to 67° from 68° and the Δt was changed from ±2° to ±4° at around 1 PM.

Due to the late start this afternoon, we were only able to string 3 guard wires.

With 3 stringers rotating, we were able to string 45 Guard wires today.

9/28/11

A strip door was installed between the cleanroom area and the beam lab counting room. Several ducting pipes that are connected to adjacent rooms were also sealed off.

69 Guard wires were strung today.

The graph below was drawn at 6:32 pm on 9/29/11. It seems time stamp 0:00 corresponds to 6pm. It appears that the stringers enter the clean room around 8am (14:00) and warm up the clean room by almost 1 degree. TEMP4 is a thermometer on the vinyl wall right next to the chamber that is currently being strung. Temp1 is the middle of the clean room. Temp2 and Temp3 are on the opposite wall to the drift chamber currently being strung.

Since the previous change of our Δt to ±4° only changed the amplitude of our temperature change and didn't change our frequency, our Δt was changed back to ±2° at 2:30 PM.
