Many thanks to Sergey and Nikos we have tested the connection of the new control system for turning on and off of the gas target.

Connections:

For the test event machines 12 (event 162) and 14 (event 163) were chosen for gas target on and off. The old Pulzzentrale code remains unchanged on 10. The middle output of the TIF editors can then be connected to the gas target control.

The created pulses were measured on the oscilloscope and hat the duration of 1us and amplitude of 5V.

The gas target control then produces the required long pulse which comes out as a BNC connection. If in the local mode, gas target can controlled by out-on and out-off. For the above scenario, we need the event mode.

The output of the gas target control is connected to the ESR-Messhuette-Panel number 2, which goes back to Messhuete and form there to the top of ESR.


All connections are working properly until the gas target itself.

Software:

Different subchains can be activated and deactivated on demand. Also their duration can be changed on the fly, but currently a change in other settings (such as Quadrupoles) might reset the duration values to their default.

How to change scaling factor?
The parameters is in f_user.c file:
1. open the f_user.C with emacs :
R4L-47 litv-exp > emacs -nw f_user.c
2. change the parameters "MWPC_downscale". 
#define MWPC_downscale 0    // reduction = 2**MWPC_downscale                  
3.compile the program.
4. restart mbs.                                                                                                                                                               

1) From SIS, 206Pb67+ @401.17 MeV/u goes to FRS where only SEETRAM is placed in the target area to strip off 206Pb67+ to get 206Pb81+.
2) There is 206Pb81+ (H-like primary beam) inside ESR at 400 MeV/u.
3) The ESR team is now trying Stochastic cooling with 206Pb81+ beam at 400 MeV/u.

1) ESR team is successful with the Stochstic cooling of primary H-like 206Pb81+ beam @400 MeV/u.
2) Now, they are trying for stacking of the beam.

Yuri and Helmut have been extensively involved in tuning and optimizing of the FRS.

26th March, 2020 (Evening setting):
1) 206Pb67+ beam from SIS @401.17 MeV/u.
2) SEETRAM in target area of FRS is used for stripping the beam from SIS to get 206Pb81+ and is then transported to ESR @400 MeV/u. (SEETRAM consists of three Ti foils of ~10 um thickness which are used for stripping purpose (more info: https://www-win.gsi.de/frs-setup/ ))
3) SL1 slits are opened +-10 mm to get rid of other charge states of 206Pb and only transport 206Pb81+ through FRS.

27th March, 2020 (Evening setting):
1) Different target (Be 1-6 g/cm2 with Nb backing) and degrader (Al)thicknesses are used for the optimization of 206Pb81+ with matter in FRS to get the beam with @400 MeV/u in ESR.
2) 206Pb67+ beam from SIS @540-560 MeV/u.
