Collab Store 6/6/07 #17 EDMEDM Coating Working with LANL polymer chemists Spray coating does not yet work Wipe on deuterated styrene – 2 coats Performed a crazing test with 2 cycles to 77 K Trying to decide how to make sure no spots are missed
Collab Store 6/6/07 #18 EDMEDM Temperature Unsure in previous test what temperature was on the inside of the cell since diode was on cooling plate with only partial coverage of cell Performing a test on old cell with diodes in a number of strategic locations New cell cooling scheme to get better thermal contact Performing a test with new cooling configuration Temperature cycle will include a bake out under vacuum at about 50 ° C for several days prior to any measurements
