 Sat Jun 8 13:11:52 2024, Carsten, General, Put the go4login in atplaser .bashrc
|
Put the go4login in atplaser .bashrc in order to avoid that one always has to go to the go4 directory to set the environment variable.
go4login64 is now executed automaticlally and the environments are now set every time you open a (bash) shell.
A fixed version 6.3 is used. The login file might be changed back after the beamtime. |

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. |

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.

The triggers are (according to the MRC nomenclature):

Thu Jun 6 19:47:01 2024, Carsten, DAQ, Exchange of Mesytec CFD/shaper - noise on signal lines from ESR magnets
|
Jan exchanged the Mesytec CFD/shper since it could not be "remote controlled" anymore. The new one has different shaping times and delays.
It is noted the threshold range is rather small.
With the new shaper only the x100 signals could meaningfully discriminated etc.

Thu Jun 6 19:42:20 2024, Carsten, Detectors, Exchange of amplifer channels / cables channels / HV voltage cables for PMT south
|
In order to check if the problem of regular burst of pulses on the PMT south is related to amplfier channels and or the HV cable, the cheannels of the amplifiers
in the ESR were changed. Likewise, a different HV cable is now used for the supply of the PS.

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]).

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. |

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 |

Wed Jun 5 19:22:43 2024, Carsten, Konstantin, Rodolfo, Detectors, PMT tests and preliminary thresholds
|
For all channels of the CAEN CFD the width of the logic signal is set to 255ns (maximum) to mitigate potential double pulses. For the very low count rates
of the experiment this is not problem.
