LABOCA gains to He3 temperature variations

The correlated signal in LABOCA data comes from two distinct sources: emission from the sky, and drifts in the He3 temperature. As illustrated below, the bolometers response to these two "signals" are anti-correlated. We have observed several skydip scans with the bolometers capped, in order to isolate the response to He3 temperature variations. The relative responses to these temperature changes and to the blind bolometers are shown in the next plots, for scan 11696.
