07:20  we have beam back.
Entry  Wed Apr 2 07:16:33 2025, Carlo, Chris, Alex, Michael, DAQ, ESR not requesting 
7:05 ESR not requesting new pulses from the SIS. 
Operators are trying to fix the problem.

7:20 eam is back
Entry  Wed Apr 2 05:48:31 2025, 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:

RSA01-2025.04.02.06.24.01.530.tiq_spectrogram.npz


06:24 data not visible again, only noise.

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.

05:30 update from HKR: There is a problem with the ESR main power supply. We have to wait.

Entry  Wed Apr 2 01:46:52 2025, Chris, Carlo, Zac, General, Beam loss 
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.

Beam was lost from 00:44 until 00:59
Entry  Wed Apr 2 00:08:57 2025, Ruijiu Chen,Shahab, Analysis, the peak corresponding to 194Pb⁸²⁺ was mixed with signals from some unknown ions. photo_2025-04-02_00-12-38.jpgphoto_2025-04-02_00-12-43.jpg
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.
Entry  Tue Apr 1 23:56:18 2025, Shahab, Carlo, Zac, Yue, Michael, DAQ, Change of RSA01 settings for new harmonic=212.

245:

Entry  Tue Apr 1 23:23:18 2025, C Griffin, General, PLEIADES removed 
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.
Entry  Tue Apr 1 23:07:15 2025, Shahab, DAQ, short interruption of queqiao script for RSAs 
has been restored.

Entry  Tue Apr 1 22:05:24 2025, Ruijiu , Analysis, analysis result 202504012157.png202504012157.pdf202504012206.pngphoto_2025-04-01_22-43-41.jpg
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.
Entry  Tue Apr 1 22:03:07 2025, 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.

Entry  Tue Apr 1 17:08:13 2025, JG, ID, MC, CG, Detectors, pleiades in position 
The pleiades detectors are now moved into a position which does not disturb the stored beam. 

inner detector: BGO
device: GE01DD2IG 
position: +20mm
scraping beam: not possible

outer detector: GAGG
device: GE01DD2AG
position: -55mm
scraping beam at: -45mm

These positions are fixed, i.e. not moving automatically.
