Stable & Repeatable Ramping of 40 kV/mm Electric Field
The weekly win for this week is the conditioning team’s efforts in the ramp simulations. In 2.5 days we put the Nb23 through approximately 16 hours of ramping simulations. On Friday we continuously ramp-conditioned the electrodes for 8.5 hours at 40 kV/mm = 400 kV/cm, which is our current record for…

The Chunk Code: HV Stability During an EDM Simulation
This Weekly Win is a celebration of my high voltage ramp test analysis suite, AKA Chunk Code. Let me break this down into ‘chunks,’ if you will: Here is a plot of a high voltage ramp test the Spinlab RaEDM crew performed on 7-5-2017. The ramp test simulates the conditions that the electrodes will be subjected to…

NSF Awards Spinlab CAREER Grant
CAREER: Optical Single Atom Detection for Nuclear Astrophysics This award supports the development, construction, and commissioning of an optical microscope capable of imaging individual atoms that are captured inside a thin film of frozen neon. Initially, this single atom microscope will capture and count the number of magnesium atoms produced…

Demodulation Analysis of NMR Signals
The “Weekly Win” for the week of Nov. 21 was awarded to Jake Huneau for rewriting the program which uses a demodulation technique of analysis for the HeXe collaboration. The demodulation technique uses trigonometric identities and a digital lowpass filter to extract frequency and amplitude from the dataset. The benefit of this…
