Helium leak tested 5 of 5 gate annulus CFFs on GV6
Kyle

Used LD to back "hung" 50 L/s turbo -> LD baseline at start of testing = 2.3 x 10-9 torr*L/sec helium indicated -> 20 sec audible helium blast at each gate annulus CFF joint on GV6 -> no response -> LD baseline at end of testing 2.2 x 10-9 torr*L/sec helium indicated -> Briefly energized annulus ion pump controller and observed expected cross-talk helium indication -> Restored GV6 annulus pumping to 50 L/s turbo backed by scroll pump -> Leaving GV6 hard-closed and will continue pumping combined annulus volume over the weekend
