Entry  Thu Apr 3 09:53:02 2025, Ruijiu Chen,Wolfram, Analysis, Good injection ratio photo_2025-04-03_09-53-26.jpg
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.
Entry  Sat Apr 5 11:37:44 2025, Ragan, Rui-Jiu, Zsolt, Wolfram, Yuri, General, General 
We have not seen 184Hf and 186Hf so far. 
Entry  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.
Entry  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
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.
Entry  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.

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
Entry  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.
Entry  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
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 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.
Entry  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+.
Entry  Mon Apr 7 17:18:45 2025, Wolfram, Yuri, Sergey, General, Data from last 10 minutes are not useful (setting ESR)
