The beam is paused and HHT team needs to enter the ring.

Just test
  98   Sat May 18 16:45:15 2024 Helmut, YuryAcceleratorsetting for 96Sr (98Y)
To have a few more lines the setting actually is not on 96Sr directly, but on 98Y39+.
98Y is also the one set to be isochronous. 
But in addition the SIS-energy is shifted by -0.9 MeV/u to get at least better transmission for 96Sr.
  33   Wed May 15 19:20:32 2024 Helmut WeickAcceleratorscraper setting
After the orbit correction on the target straight section the scrapers work better.
One pair of scrapers works best:
GEEXDS2HA (outside straight section =  low Brho side) = -4.0 mm
GE02DS3HG (outside arc              = high Brho side) = -71.4 mm
All other scrapers are open (finished playing with scrapers ~18:20)
When one side is opened more one can cut more on the other.
We can attack the beam from both sides.
With scrapers good resolution, David already posts lifetimes of the isomer.
Details in paper log book.

  12   Tue May 14 23:40:03 2024 Helmut, Sergey, YuryAcceleratorpaper log book
two pages of log book on paper for teh first setup,
injection into ESR and tuning primary beam 100Mo and fragment 98Mo.
  26   Wed May 15 12:58:12 2024 Beatriz, Min, ShahabRunsoptimizing the mass resolution
Yuri and Sergey still optimizing the mass resolution.

From 13:10 to ~ 13:35 SIS energy was increased to 457.4 (~3 MeV/u) to test whether this moves the best isochronicity to 98Mo (we were off before), -> Brho(98Mo)=7.12736 Tm

From ~13:35 back to setting up with the primary beam at 441.95 MeV (with target, same Brho as the 98Mo fragments). It will be attempted to measure the orbit of the beam

new timing cycle of 6.7s
  52   Thu May 16 15:24:30 2024 Ide, HubbardAcceleratornew Plunger setting
plunger motors were set

to +/-390 mm for 245 MHz resonator
and +/-55 mm for 410 MHz resonator
  11   Tue May 14 23:22:55 2024 Helmut WeickAcceleratorisochronicity curves
Sergey started with a setting with quadrupoles already changed like in 2021.
Ths was used for the first isochronicity curves.
It also gave soem, however, not good peak shapes with scrapers closed.
But after a failure only a new setting of quads could revover the peaks.

Then more cooler curves were measured and found to have quite a slope.
Changing ESR energy does not change the curves much, but changing the quads does.
With the stronger variation of quads (+1.65% on two quadrupole families) the curve tilts to opposite side.

All curves in EXCEL.
Cooler voltage converted to Brho with gamma ~ 1.4 and curves in relative frequency spread shifted on top of each other.
In new injections the quads are set new, which causes a frequency jump. Pasted parts of curves to remove jump.

  102   Sun May 19 14:17:57 2024 Shahab, Kanika,hongfu li,xing xuDAQcenter frequency change for 96Sr
aiming for 96-Sr:


410 MHz:

The plunger position for 410 is 45, which should correspond to the 408.998 MHz which is expected position for 96Sr. The first file is at 14:38.


245 MHz:

The center frequency is changed to 244.235723 MHz for 96Sr, the new plunger position is 300.The first file is at 14:5
  72   Fri May 17 17:09:26 2024 Helmut, YuryAcceleratorapprox. 96Sr setting (98Zr39+)
Only 96Sr would yield very few line with only ions from time to time.
So we went a bit lower in Brho 7.69 Tm -> 7.65 Tm.
The setting is calculated as a 98Mo39+.
E-SIS = 455.3 MeV/ for 100Mo,
after target 98Mo now with 39+ gives 7.6500 Tm.
In ESR also 39+.
In LISE we get the same average gamma as before for 98Zr (gamma = 1.40082).

The 98Zr was also entered as a 98Mo40+-

Recording Zr starting from 14:45 again back to short cycle.
  28   Wed May 15 16:55:10 2024 Jeroen, JohanGeneralTuning ESR scraper. Isomer resolved.
4:50 Scraper tuned to produce Gaussian beam profile for 98Mo. Isomer now clearly resolved.

Plan to take data for 98Mo fragment for 12 hours. Measurements from 4:59 are now aligned so that the Molybdenum fragment is centered in the RSA acquisition.
  Draft   Thu May 16 12:48:58 2024 SergeyAcceleratorTune to 98Zr
- stop longer measurements
- change quadrupole and sextupole magnets
- rescale SIS-TE-ESR
