  Bound beta decay experiment on Tl-205, Page 6 of 9  Not logged in ELOG logo
Entry  Mon Mar 30 23:30:35 2020, Jan, Analysis, run251 - Si-pad performance & status 7x
Attached are plots for Si-pad 2 with hits from ionization of 206Pb81+ at the target.
The plots are representative for all Si-pads, the pattern is always the same!
Entry  Tue Mar 31 00:47:18 2020, Yuri, Runs, S2 slits 0/+35 mm, target bump +13 mm 
Run start: 0276.lmd
Entry  Tue Mar 31 15:30:43 2020, ruijiu, Analysis, The beam position on DSSD with different conditions on on the dEE spectrum 6x
I analyzed the first measurement with 206Pb81+ beam, run 250-267. 
Entry  Tue Mar 31 20:32:05 2020, Ragan, General, 203Tl80+ 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+ 85AD7203-736C-4531-BA80-D045CC690BED.jpeg
Below in the schottky spectrum, on left is 203Tl80+ contamination, in middel is 200Hg79+ contamination and on right most is 205Tl81+.
These contaminations cannot be seen on CsISiPHOS but can only be seen on schottky.
The goal now is to get rid of these contaminations by putting slits.
Entry  Tue Mar 31 20:50:05 2020, Ragan, General, 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+ 31E7D028-F469-4BFF-B683-203821C174E9.jpeg
203Tl80+ impurity is removed by moving scrapper inside ESR.
Only 220Hg79+ is left now
Entry  Tue Mar 31 21:07:05 2020, Ragan, General, Separation of 203Tl80+ and 200Hg79+ using scrapper in ESR 06B012F5-5435-41D7-AD82-4A5FDADF281E.MOV
It can be seen in the video how 203Tl80+ (on extreme left) and then 200Hg79+ (in middle originally) is separted from 205Tl81+ by using scrapper in ESR.
Now, we want 205Pb81+ mixed with 205Tl81+ to be separated as much as possible in FRS.

Entry  Wed Apr 1 01:02:24 2020, ruijiu, Detectors, the detector cable is disconnected. 
 
Entry  Wed Apr 1 01:05:36 2020, ruijiu, Detectors, detector position fixed at 60 mm VID_20200401_010416.mp4
The detector cable was disconnected . We entered and reconnected the cable.
Entry  Thu Apr 2 02:36:48 2020, Ragan, General, Stochastic cooling and orbit problem 
On 1 April by 5 pm, we could stop the stochastic cooling after the stacking process and also change the orbit of the Tl beam to centre. 
Thanks to the efforts by the ESR team !
Entry  Thu Apr 2 02:38:32 2020, Ragan, Yuri, Sergey, Esther, Oliver, Runs, First measurement with zero storage time 
beam: 205Tl81+ (with no scraping)
energy: 400 MeV/u
storage time: zero
Entry  Thu Apr 2 02:46:57 2020, Ragan, Yuri, Sergey, Esther, Oliver, Runs, Measurement with 2 hrs storage time E682FBC9-1374-4582-8202-C8AA5DC8E6D5.jpeg


Entry  Thu Apr 2 05:00:44 2020, Ragan, Esther, Oliver, Runs, Second measurement with 2 hrs storage time 734CA93E-95FD-4C6E-8E90-8DCD961E4352.jpeg
Electron cooler was off here. Thus, this measurement is not what we needed.
(in the picture below, it can be seen that the beam is not cooled)
Entry  Thu Apr 2 06:25:13 2020, Ragan, Runs, Template 
beam: 205Tl81+ (no scraping)
energy: 400 MeV/u
storage time: ___ hrs
Entry  Thu Apr 2 07:01:32 2020, Ragan, Esther, Oliver, Runs, Measurement with 4 hrs storage time 
beam: 205Tl81+ (no scraping)
energy: 400 MeV/u
storage time: 4 hrs
Entry  Thu Apr 2 09:21:19 2020, Ruijiu, Runs, 2nd measurement with 2 hrs storage time (repeat) IMG_20200402_092631.jpg
Because the electron cooler was not switched on during beam accumulation in the previous measurement, we repeat this measurement again.
(In the picture below, it can be seen that the beam cooled. On right most is the Tl beam and rest are the contaminants.)
Entry  Thu Apr 2 12:52:25 2020, ruijiu, General, setup FRS with 2 g/cm2 degrader. 
Yuri sets up FRS with 2 g/cm2 degrader (previous one is 1 g/cm2). The ESR is not changed. The contamination should be less now.

For Alle and Kuehler the bottom left status should look like as shown in pictures below.
