Thu Apr 3 09:53:02 2025, Ruijiu Chen,Wolfram, Analysis, Good injection ratio
|
Currently, we only use 37% of the injections in our data analysis. However, 63% of the injections have a height below 100, and these may include
single ion injections. We need to visually inspect these injections to identify the single ion injections. |
Sat Apr 5 11:37:44 2025, Ragan, Rui-Jiu, Zsolt, Wolfram, Yuri, General, General
|
We have not seen 184Hf and 186Hf so far. |
Wed Apr 2 07:41:10 2025, 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. |
Thu Apr 3 09:34:42 2025, ID, General, Finished in the ESR as of 9:05
|
We had stopped the RSAs at 8:00 (call for restart)
Time stamp computer stopped and started at 9:35 |
Wed Apr 9 10:24:54 2025, Yuri, Sergey, Nikos, Esther, General, Final Injection
|
The a final injection from SIS18 stored at 10:04.
The scrapers were moved out before to get the maximum intensity.
NTCAP is still running, the RSAs recorded the last files at 10:04.
The plan is to keep running like this for about an hour. |

Beam stopped at 10:58.
NTCAP and RSAs are stopped. |
Wed Apr 2 18:31:52 2025, ID, General, FYI for morning shifts Thu
|
The PLEIADES team (pocket detectors) has discussed with Wolfram to get access to the ESR tomorrow (Thu) morning ~8:00 to check their detectors and install a dry N2 flow connection. This might take about 1h. Iris (or Jan) will call the HKR to get the RP shift for the transport of the N2 bottle into the ESR. Morning shift will be informed accordingly when we are onsite, just keep running (keep running...keep running...keep running) until we get access. |
Sun Apr 6 14:17:07 2025, Ragan, Burcu, Gregor , Yuri, Taka, General, Every injection to the ESR
|
From 14:15, we have every injection to the ESR. FRS is on pause for 1-2 hours. |
Thu Apr 3 08:02:04 2025, Team PLEIADES (JG, ID, CJG, MC), Detectors, Entering ESR for PLEIADES
|
We are going to enter the ESR to check on the PLEIADES pocket detectors and install a nitrogen cooling. |
Mon Apr 7 10:40:33 2025, Team PLEIADES, General, Enter ESR
|
At 10:45 we will enter the ESR and install a remote oscilloscope for the PLEIADES outside detector. Should take only 10 "GSI" minutes ;-)
After that, ESR tuning to 192Pb can start. |
Wed Apr 2 09:28:59 2025, Michael, Alex, General, Empty injections in the ESR
|
Since the FRS started to take the beam again, the ESR gets 1/10 shots from SIS. But, the ESR seems to request about twice more frequently the beam from SIS which means that every second shot in the ESR is empty (it contains the remaining beam from the previous injection). This also applies to the data stored by RSAs because they also (seem to) trigger each time the ESR requests the beam. |
Fri Apr 4 09:45:02 2025, Ragan, Wolfram, Sergey, General, Electron Cooler
|
Regina, Jan, and Markus are in the ESR to check the electron cooler. |
Fri Apr 4 11:00:35 2025, Ragan, Wolfram, Sergey, Zsolt, General, Electron Cooler
|
Electron cooler anode voltage needs a repair which might take 20-30 mins. If it takes longer, we'll proceed without a cooler curve measurement. |
Fri Apr 4 11:15:05 2025, Ragan, Wolfram, Sergey, Zsolt, General, Electron Cooler
|
No additional HV. So, have to proceed without the cooler.
Spare Power supply did not work either, we will not be able to use the cooler for the rest of the experiment |
Fri Apr 4 10:36:40 2025, Ragan, Wolfram, Sergey, Zsolt, General, ESR setting change from 188Hf72+ to 186Hf72+
|
ESR setting is changed from 188Hf72+ to 186Hf72+. SIS-18 beam energy for the primary beam transmission check is 528 MeV/u. |
Fri Apr 4 17:10:35 2025, H. Weick, S. Litvinov, Accelerator, ESR scraper setting
|
the new scraper setting for good isochronicity but still acceptable intensity losses is:
Done at ~ 15:00 today.
GEEXDS1HA (outside) = -8 mm
GEEXDS1HG (ToF-det-aperture) = 20.5 mm
GE01DS3HG = -84.2 mm (fully open is -130 mm)
in addition, a detector pocket is in GE01DD2IG = 1.7 mm |
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 |
Wed Apr 2 10:02:40 2025, Sergey + Yuri, Accelerator, ESR Timeout
|
At around 9:40, ESR timeout changed from 10 s to 30 s
Triggering only on real injections.
Before that, every second injection was not real but the old one. They can be identified since they should have no "kicker" disturbance. |
Mon Apr 7 15:23:01 2025, Ragan, Wolfram, Sergey, Zsolt, Yuri, Rui-Jiu, General, ESR Setting change to 192Pb82+
|
Today, until 11 am, data were taken for the 188Hf setting. Since then, we are now tuning on the 192Pb82+. |
Mon Apr 7 17:18:45 2025, Wolfram, Yuri, Sergey, General, Data from last 10 minutes are not useful (setting ESR)
