During whole night shift scraping right peak did not work consistently. Remaining intensity varied from similar peak height compared to thorium down to about 20%. |

Stefan, Simon, Konstantin | Runs | Morning shift 28.06. | 6:30 Problem with ion source, on-call service is called
7:30 There is a short in the ion source and it needs to be changed. Expected down time about 2h
10:30 Ion source was successfully changed, but while ramping up the source a power supply failed. Next on-call service is on their way to GSI.
13:00 ions are back
We changed the dye as the laser intensity was quite low. That didnt help, so Konstantin came in to change the dye cell. That did help.
No scans during morning shift. |

Nils, Wilfried, Carsten, Julian | Runs | Runs afternoon shift 27.06. | 15:30 We have a break due to an issue at UNILAC (quadrupole failed). Also radiation safety interlock was triggered at the fragment separator. This also pushed a faradaycup into the ESR (GE01DC3VP).
Just before the issue during the last bunching, the peak was misaligned to the marker in the Schottky. The marker was sitting on the right flank. So the electron-cooled 229Th did not match with the bunching frequency anymore. We are preparing to adjust the cooler voltage to fix this. For some reason the frequency recovered and is back to its original position. However, our accumulations do not seem to work as well as before, we stagnate much earlier and at a much lower level.
15:50 Beam is back, Carsten is still investigating the drop in intensity we saw before the UNILAC failure.
17:15 TE slits were on -8 and +8, opening to -11 and +11, no change to acquisition pattern, something is still wrong
18:00 We were locked out by HHT people for 30+ mins
18:27 We had to call in ESR support

Esther, Konstantin | DAQ | Timing | We cross-checked the timing. Laser pulse is detected at bins 136 (PD-North) and 171 (PD-south), respectively. Therefore, the laser puls is in the electron cooler at 153.5. The revolution period corresponds to 3e8Hz / 1.54315MHz = 194.
The ion bunch must travel 2.5m more than the half of the circumference (108.3m). Taking this into account, the ion bunch must be detected (0.5 + 2.5 / 108.3) * 194 = 101.5 bins later (meaning less) than 153.5.
Finally, we are happy that the timing is still perfect, since the ion bunch arrives at 52. |

Esther. Konstantin | Laser | Laser-ion overlap | We cross-checked the laser-ion superposition by using the T-scrapers. We did it only after the scans in order to do not change the duty cycle by much. Attachements are in the order of the measurements compiled in the table.

Hendrik, Finn | Runs | Nightshift data runs | After the scan at 22:04 teh FCU new was new calibrated. For this MEdusa was stopped and reopened in the laser lab. This stops the Labview server, and as a consequence the the connection to the MBS was lsot. Then, MBS needs to be restarted and the online data is cleared. Such an intervention should avoided as good as possible.
A pratical solution for beamtimes with such long data taking is still pending.
When trying to restart MBS MBS completlz hung up also resl etc did not work. Crate powered down and restarted.
23:10 Quadrupole magnet stopped working, lost beam in ESR. Contacted on-call ESR service

Notes:
1. NTCAP was only started after the fourth scan. The file timestamp is '2025-06-25_00-02-08'.
2. Beam was lost at 03:45 and could not be recovered by the operators. On-call service was called but they have to replace a part, current estimate is 2-3 hours.

Carsten, Stefan, Simon, Rima, Nils | Detectors | PMT behaviour - noise / PMT voltages / CFD Threshholds / CAEN Power supply (broken channel resetted) | PMT North and South have been changed:
CFD CH0: Middle Thr 7 / CAEN HV Ch1: 2750 V
CFD CH1: South Thr 8 / CAEN HV Ch2: 2700 V
CFD CH2: North Thr 8 / CAEN HV CH3: 2800 V
MESY CFD Ch4: Thr.17
MESY CFD Ch5: Thr.16
MESY CFD Ch6: Thr.20
Quote: | In position North there is still the "old" 9423B PMT that draws quite some current.
On this detector threre is also some quite substantial noise. Very likely the base is not ok any more. Noise was much lesss for the other two PMTs.
Since position NORTH is the position with the largest sold angle, if there is another break from the accelerator we should exchange it against SOUTH.
It was also difficult to ramp up PMT north ; and I thought that againa channel broke (showing UnV not OVC (Overcurrent)). However, the PS is resetted if
you switch of the whole crate (aka switch the PS off). Before doing so, please ramp down the other channels slowly as intended.
Please leave the PMTs (besides you go in to exhchange the PMTs).
If you ramp pt PMT North (or the same detector at a different position), start with 2400 V and then slowly increase by steps of 50V.
Checked theresholds (but during injections, so in presence of electronic noise from injection). A further adjusted might be done later when we have measurement conditions.
(Or if we have time to exchange the PMTs).
Presently we have the following settings for CAEN:
CH1: Middle 2750 V, Thr 9
CH2: South 2700 V, Thr 7
CH3: North 2800 V, Thr 9 |

Konstantin | DAQ | Phase shift in DAQ1 | In the SetParameters.C file is a parameter called fPar->piPhaseOffset. It was shifted from 100 to 50 in order to see ion bunches in the pmt signal and laser pulses in the photodiode signal during the same revolution in the TDC spectrum. Note that this parameter must be taken
into account when setting the window conditions of the arrival time in the SetConditions.C file. |

Carsten | Detectors | PMT behaviour - noise / PMT voltages / CFD Threshholds / CAEN Power supply (broken channel resetted) | In position North there is still the "old" 9423B PMT that draws quite some current.

Wilfried, Simon | Detectors | PMT test with LED | We tested the PMTs again, this time with an UV LED that is mounted at a window close to the XUV detector.
PMT south showed a very clear increase in count rate from about 1 to 50 Hz.
PMT mid also showed a small increase by a few Hz.
For PMT north there was no great change between LED off and on, but we think that the count rate also very slightly increased. Note, that PMT north is also the furthest away from the LED.
Also we saw a difference between single- and multi-photon events at PMT south. |

Julian, Lukas, Zsolt, Nadine, Konstantin | Runs | Scan routine | -Start new injection
->wait for 60 injections to be complete
->note down SIS intensity (at extraction)
->observe Schottky to ensure proper bunching
->check laser position (should be well-centered)
-open file, start Go4
->do '@openfile' in both mbs windows
->start acquisition (green arrow) in both Go4 instances (check indicator 'Current Ev/s' at the bottom, should be green, not red)
->start laser scan
->reset Ch3 of the particle detector (in the electronics hut)
->check laser position (disappears at start of scan then drifts through the image from the left)
-when laser scan is finished:
->stop Go4 acquisition (big red 'STOP' button in the top row)
->do '@closefile' in both mbs windows
->check counts on particle detector
-update elog
-repeat |

Julian, Lukas, Zsolt, Nadine, Konstantin | Laser | Frequency conversion unit | We exchanged the old BBO of the Cobra's FCU with a new one. The output power of the Cobra was around 120mJ. In the end, we achieved a UV power of about 21mJ. In addition, we optimized the fiber-coupling to the wavemeter. |
