keyword=Found the leak in reference cell line
The leak in the reference cell system was found. A simple schematic looks like this:
Reference Cell <-> Adapter <-> Brass Mount <-> Target Ladder
The connection between the adapter and the brass mount has a slow leak. This cannont be fixed just by tightening anything - the entire cell would need to be removed, and the connection remade. For now, we are going to leave it as is, and I will swap out the reference cell between experiments.
