The main control room started setting up the Bi beam this morning, but quickly stopped in order to solve some problems around the UNILAC. Therefore we 
should not plan to receive ions earlier than late in the evening on Monday, or probably Tuesday during the day.

The main control room is setting up the SIS for extraction. At the moment there are 2.5E8 particles in the SIS. Later they will check the transport and the devices for the 
ESR injection. The ESR operators might (! no info available) take over later in the evening, but there will definitely be no beam for the experiment before tomorrow morning.

=> the night shift will not take place, unless some laser adjustments need to be done (so far we see no problems)
=> the morning shift does not need to come at 6AM. My guess is that before the morning briefing at 8:30 there will be no news.

The ESR cave is closed again. Talk to the main control room if you need access.

Status SIS on Monday evening. ESR setting up starting on Tuesday morning. There is some prospect of getting more ions by setting up multi-multiturn 
injection, however still uncertain.

For some reason the beam was lost in the SIS soon after taking the ESR beam this evening, reason unknown. Solved by sending teh full context to the SIS machine and having 
operators to manually set the voltage of the SIS extraction kicker. Afterwards a slight readjustment of the transfer beamline was necessary:

In the SIS: GTE5 KY1, MU0, QD21, QD22 as well as in the ESR: GE01MU4I (5 -> 6 mrad)

This brought back around 1E7 particle in the ESR after 5 accumulated SIS injections.

The resonance in 209Bi has been seen during the night.
Reducing the intensity by a factor~1000, to simulate 208Bi conditions
Running low intensity since ~6:15-6:20
The present intensity is so low that DCCT does not see the beam.
On Schottky the beam is clearly seen as ~30-40 dB over the background.
The real intensity is to be determined from the NTCap, which is running (checked).

In entry 36 one finds an additional PD NO peak around bin 100.
This was caused by signal reflection in the cable.
The problem was solved by adjusting the CFD threshold from 10 to 30.
 

The scaler channel laser scan complete and laser step complete is interchanged in go4. Carsten will fix this on the software side.
Additionally the laser scan complete signal was not there in the first place. After checking the signal on multiple points, the signal was suddenly back in the DAQ.
Possibly there is a bad cable/contact somewhere (on the Labjack?). The signal should be checked in go4 from time to time. 

We performed an autocalibration (attached picture 1) of the Keysight 34465A DMM (TUD Keysight).

The position and the "cabling" to the cooler platform was also adjusted (picture 2,3).

We changed PMT north and PMT south and tested them at 1500 V.

Both new PMTs are broadband.

PMT north and middle see between 2 and 7 kHz signal rate with a threshold close to the background noise.
PMT south still has the plastic cap on and is intended to be used as a reference for electro-magnetic disruptions. No signal was seen at 1500 V.
We fixed the signal cable of PMT south to the NIM-crate to get rid of background noise picked up by the cable.

new shift started.

The lower limit (to position) of the Cobra control VI has to be one increment smaller.
This means for moving from 601,95 to 601,74 the "to position" has to be 601.735.

We also checked the displayed HV values in Go4 with the shown values of the HV VI.

Both values in go4 and in the VI show the same value and are changing "simultaneously" (depending on the refresh time of go4 and Labview).
