RSAs had to stop because the cycle of 1.8 came too often, both analyzers could not catch up with the file transfer.


changed to 1.7 seconds

last file in the 1.8 setting:

RSA01-2025.04.05.18.20.46.005
RSA02-2025.04.05.18.20.43.346


new filenames from the 1.7 s settings:

RSA01-2025.04.05.18.28.12.146.tiq

new analysis settings:

[analysis]
nframes = 80
lframes = 131072
avg = 4




Explanation:

every file has 10625050 samples with 1.7 seconds length
sampling rate: 6.25 MSPS
this means every sample is worth: 1.6e-7 seconds
this means every frame with length of 2^17 samples will have a time length of: 21 ms
finally with an averaging of 4 frames into one, this means that every time frame in the NPZ file will have 80ms length



frequency setting

please see attached pictures.

New settings for resonators:

410: plunger stay the same
center: 411.756955 MHz


245: plunger now at 150
center: 245.507668 MHz


first files on the resonators:


RSA01-2025.04.05.18.09.08.519.tiq
RSA02-2025.04.05.18.09.09.618.tiq

NTCAP restarted 17:43

we have 63% full on bank 2 of the NAS
which means about 11% every day
this gives us roughly another 3 days of recording time
we can always switch to bank 1, but changing that, needs changing the analysis paths. so for now, we continue on bank2

:-)

17:35 Slowly moving PLEIADES outside detector (GE01DD2AG) in for some data. Clipping ions at -20mm. Leaving detector at -40mm for a few minutes.

We tried to convince the outside pocket to move, no success. We can hear the "hissing sound" of the pressurized air but no movement. Sergey tried to move it from the HKR, also no success. After that I tried to move it again from the Messhuette...and the "Out of tolerance" error message is gone, and the pocket seems to move. (We cannot confirm from inside because the ESR is already closed).
Guess the outside pocket got intimidated by Sergey and decided to get moving again... ;-)

We will take a bit more beam once the setting is stable, but try not to fry another detector.

NTCAP and analysers are stopped at 17:00.Iris goes inside to move the detectors 

The 188Hf72+ setting measurement starts now. Exactly the same setting like two days ago.

Now ESR is set to the 188Hf72+ setting.

we removed the wrong entries from the PKL file, and restarted the looper script for RSA02.

important change:

nframes = 84 
lframes = 131072
navg = 4



here are the new parameters:

# Config file for the multiprocessing looper script

[paths]
monitor_dir = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/data/analyzers/RSA02"
output_dir = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/results/analyzers/RSA02"
state_file = "/data.local/G22-00018_00203/scripts/e0018_e0203_scripts/processed_files_rsa2.pkl"

[processing]
num_cores = 12
interval_seconds = 0.5
file_ready_seconds = 0.5

[analysis]
nframes = 84 
lframes = 131072
navg = 4
zzmin = 0
zzmax = 1e6
mask = false
dbm = false
todo = ['spectrum', 'spectrogram'] # choose any of or combination 'png', 'spectrum', 'spectrogram'

The ntcap data record 410 detector continuously. The frame length is  26 ms/frame * 32 frames= 832 ms.

2025-04-05 15:25
Stop the RSA02 looper script to change the settings of analysis

Before changing we check how much we cut with the ESR scrapers
two lines
208Pb80+ with slits intensity 15 arb u
204Hg78+ ... 0.055

Now, slits fully open


208Pb80+ with slits intensity 127 arb u
204Hg78+ ... 0.25

Increase compared to 188Hf measurement:
208Pb80+  increase of factor 8.5
204Hg78+  increase of factor 14

14:57 We are moving the inside pocket detector in again, this time to 20mm

14:12 We are moving the inside pocket out for a moment, change the bias

12:23 moved PLEIADES inside detector in to 2mm.
