Michael, Alex | General | No beam |
The SIS kicker has failed again at 08:01.
Since this has happened already few times, the experts from the on-call duty service are now looking at the problem. |

Michael, Alex | General | Frequency shift in Schottky |
After the beam was restored at 07:25, we think that the frequency peak in the 244 MHz RSA2 has jumped again (closer to the center).
Previous to that, during the longer break in the previous night, the peak jumped to higher frequencies. |

Chris, Carlo, Zac | General | Beam returned |
Beam was returned to the ESR at 05:11.
HKR said there had been some problem with one of the dipoles and in order to restore it a power supply had to be reset, which took some time.
05:41 data are back in the RSAs. Files that contain data from:
RSA01-2025.04.02.05.41.14.938.tiq_spectrogram.npz
to:
RSA01-2025.04.02.06.24.01.530.tiq_spectrogram.npz
06:24 data not visible again, only noise.

Zac, Chris, Carlo | General | Receiving injections but not seeing anything on RSAs |
Starting at around 04:09 we don't see anything on RSAs. RSAs are still triggering and writing files, but only see noise. Lassie indicates beam current in the ESR
We called HKR, they said they will investigate, awaiting response.
last file that contains data: RSA01-2025.04.02.04.09.27.044.tiq_spectrogram.npz
file from which only noise is contained: RSA01-2025.04.02.04.09.31.905.tiq_spectrogram.npz
At 04:09: drop of beam in the SIS as shown in screenshots.
For a minute there were still good data. Files from:
RSA01-2025.04.02.04.13.44.629.tiq_spectrogram.npz
to:
RSA01-2025.04.02.04.14.47.805.tiq_spectrogram.npz
05:30 update from HKR: There is a problem with the ESR main power supply. We have to wait. |

HKR just called to say a power supply to the SIS18 extraction kicker has failed.
The service person has been called and is expected to take ~1h to arrive and approx. ~2h to carry out the repair. |

Ruijiu Chen,Shahab | Analysis | the peak corresponding to 194Pb⁸²⁺ was mixed with signals from some unknown ions. |
I examined the spectrum of 194Pb at the 211 harmonic. It was observed that the peak corresponding to 194Pb82+ was mixed with signals
from some unknown ions. Consequently, we switched to the 212 harmonic, where the frequency of 194Pb82 was measured at 410.5385024. |

Leakage currents were steadily increasing in the PLEIADES detectors so we decided to stop taking data, move both the detectors back and turn off bias. |

Ruijiu | Analysis | analysis result |
This is a preliminary result during 4:00-19:00 April 1st 2025.
I correct the frequency drift of 194Pb82+ ions injection by injection.
I have analyzed all injection data during 4:00-19:00 and calculated the frequency of 194Pb82+ for each injection. This is the frequency of 194Pb82+ as
a function of time. You can clearly see that the frequency of 194Pb82+ was drifted from 408.603 to 408.600 MHz. The variation of frequency is about
3kHz. |

Jeroen, Zac, Esther, Shahab, Wolfram | DAQ | Optimisation of settings |
Estimation of potential gain by changing. Files from this points are going to rubbish. Potential gains are c. 20%
22:04: The current acquisition window is recording for 2.9 s. And is not recording for 3.9 s. We are running currently with a spill cycle of 5s every repetition.
22:22 The spill cycle between each injection was changed to 4->3->2s progressively and FRS also stopped taking spills so we settled on 2s spill request.
In the morning the spill request has to be changed back to 5s when the FRS goes back into operation.
new file with the setting is

Changed the RSA01,02 to 50 MSamples/s (20nsec/sample) for 500.00 ms acq. length, 25 MHz acq. BW, 33% trigger position.
