The figure below shows the interface of the program "combine_injection". You can combine any tdms file with this program. To run this 
program, you need to log in to the server /luster/astrum/, and activate the conda environment. Then type the command "combine_injection" at 
the terminal. You will see the interface. 

All quadrupole and dipole magnets at SIS and ESR are out of order. Repairs can be expected earliest tomorrow evening. No shifts will take place before 6pm. Have a look at your mails for details.

Cooling Time in SC7 increased from 9s to 12s

It seems to be that there are some problems with the injections in the ESR.
The last 2 accumulation cycles showed that wheter only a small amount of ions are injected into the ESR or the injection is missing.

Photos of the last 2 accumulation cycles are attached.

We ask if there are some problems with the ESR or with the SIS18, because the particle number in the SIS18 is also decreasing...

The strongest line is 229Th+89/229Pa+89. The yield and frequency of 229Pa+89 and 229Th+89 are very close to each other.  We needed to 
install Al target to suppress Pa as much as possible. Al gives a better ratio of h-like to he-like than Be. Two peaks at left 
side are 237U+92/237Np+92 and 224Ac+87. One peak at right side is 
234Pa+91/234Np+91. 

Note added 2024-06-14 (Carsten): a) We will not produce Np, this is an artifact of Lise, b) relative intensities are for injection only. Line intensities for  237U/224Ac/234Pa are substantially lower after cooling/HF/deceleration.

We changed the dye at ~3pm.

After some fine adjustements of the laser we had to change the MRC settings, because the laser position changed.
Therefore we checked the position of the laser with the T-Scrapers with the settings from post 49 "First Scraper Scan".

New settings of MRC and screen pic is attached.
The position of the laser on the screen is now the 'same' as yesterday (see attachement).

If the laser controller is locked up again, the little display will show an error message after an attempted medusa scan.
To restart it, follow these steps:
1.) Unlock the beam stabilization.
2.) shut down medusa and the wavemeter software
3.) Turn off the 2 laser stages
4.) Close the shutter of the pumping laser
5.) Turn off and on the power button of the pulsed laser inside of the black box of the pump laser insertion.

To start again go back through the list.

To realize the shortest bunches possible, we check the bunch length as a function of two different bunching amplitudes. With the bucket fill set to 1.0 we observe the spectra compiled in attachment 1. The second attachment is recorded with a bucket fill 0f 0.2.

For an RF amplitude of 0.2 we do not observe bunches any more but a coasting beam. In the shottky spectrum we can resolve a shift of the signal and thereby adjust the electron cooler voltage to the bunching frequency to within 1 V.

U_e-cooler = -104410 V
I_e-cooler = 80 mA

What is the ion beam lifetime, according to the DCCT and Schottky? 
Can somebody measure it, please? 
Yesterday we could not see a fast drop in the "main" beam. 

Because the lifetime that is mentioned here is the one based on the particle detector and on the PMT countrate. 
If what is seen now is "only" some fast decaying component inside the beam, we could simply wait for its decay and then continue with the real measurement.
