Initially, we has very low SIS beam intensities in the 1e8 region. Setting up ESR wiht Stacking etc. turned out to be extremly tedious for the ESR crew.
Yet, they managed to get stochastic ooling working early on.

Accumulation with the new "stochstic cooling only" scheme essentially does not saturate even after 40 injections or so.
One problem was that the beam often got lost at deceleration and not reliable / reproducable conditions could be achieved.

Also the secondary beam and partilce ID could finally be established (see earlier posts). During deceleration often the partilces were got lost again.

In the decelerated bunch at least 7 isotopes were decelerated (and not only one):

The frequencies were

    [5] 243.8376 MHz + 145 kHz
    [6] 243.863 MHz + 170.6 kHz
    [7] 243.687 MHz + 194.625 kHz

Thursday night (19.6. -> 20.06.) a first scraping was established.


In order to cleanly scrape the peaks Sergey Litvinov devised a new pattern:

At the low energy (190 MeV/u) the bunch is unpacked, cooled, scraped and rebunched for the measurement.

Some details of th eabove can be found in the acclerator log.

The problem with the beam losses were solved with large cooling phases at the end of the accumulation cycle.

  30   Fri Jun 20 15:58:21 2025 Wilfried, Konstantin, SimonLaserLaser stepwidth
From previous Bi-Beamtimes, we expect the width of the transition to be >50GHz (FWHM). The current step width is 0.002nm which corresponds to 8GHz, so the laser would be in resonance for 6 steps.
We should aim for at least 5 steps in resonance.

line width (sigma) >20GHz
FWHM ~50GHz
step width (fundamental) 0.004nm (4GHz)
step width (doubled) 0.002nm (8GHz)

In contrast to entry E12, the cabling for the automated start of the laser scan is now connected to IO3 of sddsc221.
  28   Fri Jun 20 06:37:51 2025 KonstantinAcceleratorPosition of contaminants
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

We believe to have identified the 237U92+ and the 229Th89+ peaks. 

Using the Schottky resonator at about 244 MHz and taking the 123rd harmonic: 
The Schottky peak of 237U92+ should be at 242.7975 MHz and the one of 229Th89+ at 242.8494 MHz. 
The peaks should be ~52 kHz apart.

Pulses on photodiodes in entry 20 

1. seem wide, so we also looked at qswitch signal; also seemes wide.
2. Have a tail

1.:

We investigated this and came to the conclusion, that the CFD is the issue:
- On an oscilloscope, when looking at both HF signal (CFD input) and CFD output, there is a 2ns jitter.
- The same jitter is visible when looking at the CFD output when triggering on a freq. generator signal with same frequency and amplitude as HF signal (1.54263 MHz; 1V peak to peak).
- There is not significant jitter when comparing the CFD output and the qswitch signal

We tried differents CFD (also a leading edge CFD / different thresholds), but this did not significantly improve what we saw on the oscilloscope.
Applying a 10MHz filter to the HF signal only made the jitter worse.
There might be an option to get a logic (NIM) signal from ESR instead of the sin-signal
Alternatively, one could think about using a PLL.
Note: the 2ns might also be limited by the trigger of the oscilloscope. We saw that if the trigger of the oscilloscope is not on the steepest part of the HF signal, the jitter "gets worse".

2.:

We saw on the qswtich signal, that there are instances, when  the q-switch signal is too early; 
Ww will try to find out which NIM module between the CFD and the final qswitch signal causes this
Preliminary: It's coincidance crate

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 %. With these settings we had UV pulse energies of 20mJ.
