  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.
  32   Wed May 15 18:37:36 2024 Jeroen, Johan, ShahabRunsBeam returned to ESR
Beam returned at 18:30:55. Taking data with new triggers.
  31   Wed May 15 17:47:34 2024 Jeroen, Johan, ShahabGeneralNew Trigger Setup
We changed the trigger setup, see attachment
  30   Wed May 15 17:45:09 2024 Jeroen, JohanGeneralNo beam to ESR
Beam lost from SIS18 at 17:41:41.
  29   Wed May 15 17:22:43 2024 Jeroen, Shahab, JohanRuns98Mo run
Beam tuned at 4:50, data acquisition aligned for 98Mo at 4:56.
  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.
  27   Wed May 15 13:39:10 2024 Beatriz, MinGeneralESR setting
From 13:37 ESR will be changed again. Now back to the primary beam, it will be attempted to measure the orbit of the beam.
  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
  25   Wed May 15 11:59:32 2024 Beatriz, MinDAQFile transfer to lustre looks to be stopped
File transfer to lustre looks to be stopped at around 11:35AM
  24   Wed May 15 11:45:22 2024 DavidAnalysisLustre Trouble
Since around 11:30, Lustre is down, therefore in https://sparc-daq-02.gsi.de/, the spectrograms are not being updated. Expected time to recovery > 2 hours.
The data will still be stored on the local hardisk. Whenever Lustre is online, we start file transfer and analysis.

Attached can be found an information email sent:
-------------------
Dear Lustre-users,

the main metadata server of the Lustre file system shows repeated errors that break I/O on at least
some clients.

We will have to restart the server, which will cause a downtime of min. 2 hours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  23   Wed May 15 10:58:32 2024 Beatriz, MinGeneralBeam returned to ESR
Beam recovery at around 10:52:30. Sergey and Yuri still tuning the mass resolution.
  22   Wed May 15 09:35:08 2024 Beatriz, MinGeneralNo beam
At 9:32 we lost the beam. They have to work in the Unilac and there will be no beam for 45 minutes. 
  21   Wed May 15 06:15:02 2024 Chris, AsahiDAQData transfer to lustre looks to be stopped
File transfer to lustre looks to be stopped at 6:03

File copy program had stopped for some reason. 
After figuring out what the problem was, we have restarted the file copy and everything seems to be catching up.
  20   Wed May 15 02:12:59 2024 Chris G, Asahi YGeneralBeam returned to ESR
Injection to ESR restarted around 02:12:15
  19   Wed May 15 02:07:02 2024 Chris G, Asahi YGeneralNo beam to ESR
Injection to ESR stopped around 02:04:45.

Will continue to write data in hope that beam returns shortly.
  18   Wed May 15 01:27:13 2024 David, Asahi, Shahab, ChrisDAQRestarted data taking
Data taking restarted at 01:27 following re-alignment of the RSAs.

Also reduced number of processing threads to 10.
  17   Wed May 15 01:11:45 2024 David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, RuijiuGeneralTime optimisation
DAQ stopped at 01:11 to optimise data taking cycle of RSAs. 
Changed data writing time from 2s -> 1.8s.
  16   Wed May 15 00:26:53 2024 David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, RuijiuRunsFirst data file - 00:26
Centered resonant frequency on 98Mo+42 at the 126 harmonic (243.925 MHz) and 211 harmonic (408.483 MHz).
Recording for 2 seconds (injection start at 10%), injection every 6 seconds. 
  15   Wed May 15 00:17:24 2024 David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, RuijiuDAQOptimizing the 245 resonance curve
  14   Wed May 15 00:06:10 2024 David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, RuijiuDAQOptimizing the 410 resonance curve
