Thu Jun 6 07:54:15 2024, Danyal, General, pressure gauges and ion pumps
|
yesterday (05.06.2024), firstly, the two ion pumps (underneath the fluorescence chamber) were switched off by the vacuum group (Björn Mai, Tel: 3438).
Secondly, the two pressure gauges (located near the target) were switched off. The pressure gauge at the fluo chamber is called E02VM3x and the pressure
was 5.5e-11 mbar. The other gauge is called IG2 and located further south, it measured 3.7e-11 mbar. That was when ion pumps were still switched on. |

Tue Jun 11 21:38:35 2024, Julian, Imke, Rodolfo, Laser, Wavemeter HeNe long time stability
|
The HeNe was running over night and the measured laser frequency of the wavemeter was logged, see picture.
A significant drift of around 300 MHz is visible during the night.
It is possible, that the laser lab got too cold during the night, as the pulsed laser was not running.

We are using a 2-Channel Function Generator (from Textronik) to generate the trigger signal for the MRC Beam Stabilization.
The triggers are (according to the MRC nomenclature):

Wed Jun 12 17:12:13 2024, Julian, Danyal, Rodolfo, Laser, Timing für 229Th89+
|
We did the timing Ion-Beam Laser-beam time overlap.
The ion revolution frequency (and therefore the bunching frequency) is: 1.5429 MHz. |
Thu Jun 6 09:23:53 2024, Konstantin Mohr, DAQ, Timing
|
The best way to adjust the bunch-laser timing is to start go4 (mbs must be running) from atppc023. Therefore use x2goclient and use the predefined session
to access LXG1297. Start go4 as usual ([URL=https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E0052/10]Entry 10[/URL] + [URL=https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E0052/11]Entry 11[/URL]).

Wed Jun 12 09:17:43 2024, Carsten, , Tests of background with ionization pumps on (from monday)
|
On monday the ionization pumps were switch on to test the background, and if it is possible to run with the pumps switched on.
Results and comments, see below:

Sat Jun 8 12:02:20 2024, Carsten, Detectors, Test Particle Detectors - Det South not working
|
With the test beam from ESR I started to have a look at the PartDets.:
North outside: Works properly with a voltage of 1450 V
South outside (behind cooler) : no signal.

Sat Jun 8 12:45:05 2024, Carsten, DAQ, Temporary change of RF signal
|
The setting was 1.540974 MHz and division factor 68 (for a 200 MeV/u) beam, and the signal was taken from a signal generator.
I now switch to the "real" RF signal from the accelerator (~400MeV/u), that is 1.9693 MHz and the factor is set to 88.
This should be set back for laser tests or adjusted when we have the real decellerated beam. |

|
The T-Scrapers can be driven by DeviceControl, which must be started from a console. To do so, first open the app-launcher and then select "Device Control",
which is found under "Betrieb & Steuerung". Then select the appropriate context (should be the name of the experiment). After a short time the device icons
will be present. The scrapers can be found in the last four columns and the second last row (see screenshot 1). By default, they should be colored like |

|
From experience, the lifetime of the beam in the storage ring should be on the order of magnitude of hours, however, we observer beam lifetimes of the order
of 10ish minutes. This suggests either a beam loss mechanism, a totally wrong species or a combination of both.
