|
I checked the positions of the contaminants. Therefore, I drove the scrapers and observed the signal at the Schottky detector
While the vertical positions are identical for all scrapers, the horizontal positions deviate due to the dispersion in the cooler section

|
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. |

In contrast to entry [URL=https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E0052_2025/12]E12[/URL], the cabling for the automated start of the laser scan is now connected to [B]IO3
of sddsc221[/B]. |

|
We recognized that the output power of the pump laser was instable when externally triggered with 200kHz (stand-bye frequency of ESR). Therefore, we changed
the coarse timing offset of the pockels cell trigger compared to the flash lamp pulse from 215µs to 219.9µs.
Thereby, the output power increased from ~600mJ to 620mJ, and the PTP stability improved from 15% to 10%. The RMS stability improved from 2% to 1.2 %. |

|
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. |

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.

|
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.

|
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 / |

We have some issues with the RIO computer R4l-41 (DAQ1). We had to switch off completely twice. Only then it reacted properly. Maybe a problem with the
network at about 00:00 o'clock? |

We also adjusted the thresholds for the mesytic.
Doing that, we noticed that one of the trafos is broken (5th row, middle).
