  42   Sat Mar 28 16:29:27 2020 Ragan, RuiJiu, EstherGeneralMalfunction of several ESR machines
The HKR crew informs us that several machines in ESR are showing malfunctions.
The on-call expert cannot be reached.

Update (16:36): On-call service has been informed.

Update (16:48): ESR cycle stopped.
  43   Sat Mar 28 18:11:13 2020 Alex, YuriGeneralno beam in the ESR
Yuri and Sergey (on phone) have investigated extensively the problem with having no beam in the ESR. The FRS has been checked and seems OK. The ESR is fine as well.
The problem seems to be the timing. Ths SIS and the ESR seem to be completely out of synchronization. The on-call service for the control system has been called.

  49   Sun Mar 29 12:56:02 2020 Ragan, RuiJiuGeneralGood positive signals from MSCF
As we (RuiJiu and me) changed the jumpers of MSCF 1, 2,3 and 4 yesterday, now we see nice positive signals on picoscope.
Yuri and Sergey are still working on optimising the Tl fragments !

The Tl fragments are being stacked (almost ~20 staacks) and tried to store nicely in ESR.
The plan is to see the number of contaminants on the inner detector (CsISiPHOS) after the gas jet is on (Ar gas jet) and minimise this number for different FRS settings !!

P.S. Prayers have magical powers :) :)
