Alex and Pierre-Michel applied 1500 V to the anode and adjusted the threshold in Messhute.
x1 signal was small & noisy and rest of the signals were fine.

10:51 am the CsISiPHOS is moved to 65 mm from 60 mm.The spot on the DSSSD is changed by 5 mm which confirms the hit of the beam.

11:05 
Detector is moved back to 60 mm.

  99   Mon Mar 30 14:48:02 2020 ruijiu and TinoDetectorsThe leakcurrent of SiPad is over the setting limit.
Because the 
leakcurrent of 
6 Sipads is 
over the 
setting limit, 
the alarm of 
HV module is 
sounding.
Ruijiu 
increase the 
limit to 1500 
uA.

  100   Mon Mar 30 15:03:58 2020 ruijiu Tino, Yuri, Lasoro, Nik and UliDetectorsthe gas bottle is empty.
The gas bottle was empty. Tino replaced 
the previous old bottle with 50 bar gas left. 

Yuri is getting new gas bottles.

Yuri got a new gas bottle. We repalced 
the the new gas bottle. There is 200 
bar gas left now. 
The old gas bottle with 50 bar gas 
left was kept inside ESR.
The empty gas bottle was removed from 
ESR.  

The outlet volve was decreased by 30 degree.
Since the value is almost 0, we can not read the value of outlet volve.

turn down the hv and pull out the detector.

Hi everybody,

is there now much more rate on  the detectors?

Perhaps it helps to turn down the bias for a while and to take the detectors out of the beam, by pulling the pocket out?

And then see if the leakage current comes down again.
good luck, Thomas

  103   Mon Mar 30 20:51:06 2020 RaganDetectorsBias Voltage for Si-pads
The limit of the leakage current for all Si pads was increased from 1500 nA to 5000nA and 
leakage current was recorded for different Bias Voltages (32V, 35V, 40V, 45V, 50V, 55V 
and 60V).
Since, I_leakage remains < 3 uA for 60 V, it is decided to increase the Bias Voltage for 
all the Si-pads from 32 V to 60 V.
For DSSD and CsI, bias voltages remains same (-50V and -160V respectively).

  178   Thu Nov 19 09:14:40 2020 JanDetectorsremote MSCF settings for CsISiPHOS
Attached is a list of all set values for the 5 MSCF shaper modules.
This was done prior to run0251, which served as a final benchmark for those settings.
See: https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E121/62
And https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E121/104

The det. to MSCF assignment is the following:
MSCF 1: Si-pad 1 + 2 p-side/strips (ch. 1-7 + ch. 9-15)
MSCF 2: Si-pad 3 + 4 p-side/strips (ch. 1-7 + ch. 9-15)
MSCF 3: Si-pad 5     p-side/strips (ch. 1-7)
MSCF 4: Si-pad 6     p-side/strips (ch. 1-7)
MSCF 5: DSSD (ch. 1 - 4); CsI (ch. 7 & 8); Si-pad n-sides (ch. 11 - 16)

Note that only the pre-amplification stage of the MSI-8 amplifiers were used for all channels.

Si-pad p-sides [MPR-32 (1 & 2)] were set to 1 GeV (expected E-deposition ~2 GeV)
DSSD channels  [MSI-8 (2)] were set to 5 GeV      (expected E-deposition ~1.2 GeV)
CsI channels   [MSI-8 (2)] were set to 4 GeV      (expected E-deposition  46 GeV)

It seems we got clipped signals from the Si-pad p-sides, because the MPR-32 were saturated due to a wrong gain setting. 
This might explain, why there was not real influence on the spectra when adjusting MSCF settings for those channels.
 
I cannot comment on the CsI gain setting, because i don't know whether the given GeV-range by MesyTec directly applies for CsI & photodiode.

However, for DSSD and Si-pad n-sides the settings look okay.

  13   Wed Jan 29 10:42:42 2020 ShahabGeneralGas target control with the new control system event
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.

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.

  20   Fri Mar 27 13:04:17 2020 RaganGeneralFRS Settings until now
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.

By changing the tune to Qx=2.33, Qy=2.36 the momentum acceptance was significantly improved. A variation of the cooler voltage of 10300 V was possible without beam loss. That corresponds to a momentum acceptance of 2.7 %. That should provide good conditions for longitudinal stacking.

Thanks to the ESR team !
