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.

The attachment contains information on how to start and shutdown NTCap and bridge computer.

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 !

Thanks to Sergey and Markus, stacking of primary H-like 206Pb81+ beam in ESR is achieved.

The stacking of the primary beam was established. There is continuous cooling on the injection orbit by stochastic cooling and by electron cooling on the stack orbit. (Time controlled operation of stochastic cooling could not be achieved due to controls issues). After stchastic cooling on the injection orbit the rf system decelerates the beam by 1.5 % in momentum and at the lower momentum electron cooling keeps the beam. The DC trafo shows accumulation of 10 injections of primary low intensity Pb81+ beam. Losses during the accumulation seems to be small.

Thanks to Nikos, stable H2 gas jet target with 10^14 particles/cm^3 is ready.
(More information can be found on: https://ulpc24.gsi.de/cgi-bin/jet.py?gasart=Helium )

We plan to measure:

1. Lifetime of H-like 206Pb81+ beam with two electron cooler currents:
a) 200 mA
b) 10 mA (so that recombination rate is less)
using MWPC (capture detector in outer pocket) and CsISiPHOS (loss detector in inner pocket). 

2. To find the efficiency of the MWPC.
