Entry  Wed May 15 19:20:32 2024, Helmut Weick, Accelerator, scraper setting IMG_20240515_193017_HDR.jpgIMG_20240515_192644.jpgIMG_20240515_182802.jpg
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
Entry  Wed May 15 18:37:36 2024, Jeroen, Johan, Shahab, Runs, Beam returned to ESR 2024-05-15_18-37-57-073_tcl1064.png
Beam returned at 18:30:55. Taking data with new triggers.
Entry  Wed May 15 17:47:34 2024, Jeroen, Johan, Shahab, General, New Trigger Setup 2024-05-15_18-06-54-910.png
We changed the trigger setup, see attachment
Entry  Wed May 15 17:45:09 2024, Jeroen, Johan, General, No beam to ESR 
Beam lost from SIS18 at 17:41:41.
Entry  Wed May 15 17:22:43 2024, Jeroen, Shahab, Johan, Runs, 98Mo run 
Beam tuned at 4:50, data acquisition aligned for 98Mo at 4:56.
Entry  Wed May 15 16:55:10 2024, Jeroen, Johan, General, Tuning 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.
Entry  Wed May 15 13:39:10 2024, Beatriz, Min, General, ESR 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.
Entry  Wed May 15 12:58:12 2024, Beatriz, Min, Shahab, Runs, optimizing 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
Entry  Wed May 15 11:59:32 2024, Beatriz, Min, DAQ, File transfer to lustre looks to be stopped 
File transfer to lustre looks to be stopped at around 11:35AM
Entry  Wed May 15 11:45:22 2024, David, Analysis, Lustre 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.
Entry  Wed May 15 10:58:32 2024, Beatriz, Min, General, Beam returned to ESR 
Beam recovery at around 10:52:30. Sergey and Yuri still tuning the mass resolution.
Entry  Wed May 15 09:35:08 2024, Beatriz, Min, General, No beam 
At 9:32 we lost the beam. They have to work in the Unilac and there will be no beam for 45 minutes. 
Entry  Wed May 15 06:15:02 2024, Chris, Asahi, DAQ, Data transfer to lustre looks to be stopped Screenshot_2024-05-15_06-18-17.png
File transfer to lustre looks to be stopped at 6:03

File copy program had stopped for some reason. 
Entry  Wed May 15 02:12:59 2024, Chris G, Asahi Y, General, Beam returned to ESR 2024-05-15_02-14-16-471.png
Injection to ESR restarted around 02:12:15
Entry  Wed May 15 02:07:02 2024, Chris G, Asahi Y, General, No beam to ESR 2024-05-15_02-08-05-614.png
Injection to ESR stopped around 02:04:45.

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

Also reduced number of processing threads to 10.
Entry  Wed May 15 01:11:45 2024, David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, Ruijiu, General, Time optimisation 
DAQ stopped at 01:11 to optimise data taking cycle of RSAs. 
Changed data writing time from 2s -> 1.8s.
Entry  Wed May 15 00:26:53 2024, David, Asahi, Shahab, Chris, Ruijiu, Runs, First 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.
