Had an absolutely excellent time again today in the underground laboratory at SNOLAB. Worked with the PICO team to put another ~6000 liters of water in the shield tank. Ran a little experiment over at HALO involving Newton’s Laws and Maxwell’s Equations. Scoped out some oxygen sensors for a summer research project. Oh, and had a great time streaming a sample loaded in… -

Yesterday was a busy day! In addition to management activities, it was great to begin welcoming summer research students to # SNOLAB and to begin data quality “shifting†for # HALO . Also kept thinking (and calculating) about evaporation and other ways of losing water from the # PICO shield tank as we plan to continue filling the water shield. -

Also spent part of the weekend thinking a little about evaporation of water from the PICO shield tank. It was a very satisfying dive, even if I don’t trust the conclusions too much. That said, I am slightly more comfortable with the mathematics of evaporation rates than I was 24 hours ago. -

What a lovely weekend. The weather was really nice on Saturday, so we could break in the patio with a cookout and some guest company! Today it rained, but it was cool and clear this evening and sunset was peaceful. I really needed this. -

I had an absolutely FANTASTIC time in the undergorund lab today, working with my PICO colleagues to load about 7500 litres of ultra pure and radon-filtered water into our water shield. This fill is the final step before we enter formal operation of the experiment! # PICO40 # darkmatter # snolab -
