Plasma Experimentation and Column Bake-Out Process Report

This report details the progress of the plasma experimentation project led by Cayetano Van Ortega, Shama Karu, Sean McKeown, and Themistoklis Zacharatos under the guidance of Dr. Woo Lee and Dr. Kurt Becker. Key insights include the temporary borrowing of a helium tank, resulting in postponed tests, and plans to begin the bake-out of the column equipment tonight. Additionally, the team is learning to use the gas chromatographer (GC) and has contacted the company about the NTP system orientation. Future work will focus on electrode separation and tubing system configuration for upcoming experiments.
