Entry  Sat Apr 4 17:32:01 2020, Ragan, Alex, Esther, General, No beam in ESR 
The beam is coming from SIS but doesn't arrive in ESR because the quadrupole magnets in ESR have failed.

Update (18:01): Problem has been resolved. 
Entry  Sat Apr 4 18:57:49 2020, Ragan, Alex, Esther, General, Timing problem with SIS & ESR and problems with stacking 
There are further problems with beam stacking in ESR. It works occasionally but keeps failing.
There is also timing problem between SIS and FRS.
Entry  Sat Apr 4 22:31:02 2020, Alex, Esther, General, Beam in ESR lost 2020-04-04_22-50-23-470.png
The beam in ESR was lost suddenly at ~22:20 due to a power supply failure of the quadrupoles.

Update (~20:40): Failure was resolved and new stacking started.

Entry  Wed Dec 5 17:29:24 2018, Chen, Sidhu, Detectors, signal map 13x
Description:

Here is a summary of signal map. The charged particle detector includes 6 layers of Si-Pad, 1 DSSD and 1 CsI.
All these detectors are installed inside the detector pocket. All signals are connected to one PCB which is attached on the pocket, then are connected
to the PCB of the flange by high density cable. This document descripts the signal map on the PCB of the detector
pocket and flange.



The signal maps of the PCB of the detector pocket are shown as follow:

Entry  Tue Aug 27 14:53:47 2019, Chen, Sidhu, Detectors, The thickness uncertainty of Ta is less than 1%.  20180711ChargeParticleDetectorV8.png20180711ChargeParticleDetectorV8.png2019_08-Ta-Blech.xlsx
The thickness of Ta plate have been measured by target group. The result is show as following.
According to this measurement, the thickness uncertainty is less than 1%.
This thickness uncertainty is good enough for Tl experiment.

Be careful. The voltage value on user interface is 10 times of real value. e.g. if the real value is 32V, the voltage value on UI has to be 320V.

XY co-relation of DSSSD showing 206Pb82+ beam hitting the CsISiPHOS detector present in the inner pocket of ESR after the first dipole after the gas jet. 206Pb82+ is 
produced by ionisation of 
206Pb81+ due to interaction of beam with the gas jet.

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.

Entry  Mon Mar 30 14:48:02 2020, ruijiu and Tino, Detectors, The leakcurrent of SiPad is over the setting limit. Screenshot_20200330-145551.jpgScreenshot_20200330-145544.jpgIMG_20200330_144915.jpg
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.
Entry  Mon Mar 30 15:03:58 2020, ruijiu Tino, Yuri, Lasoro, Nik and Uli, Detectors, the gas bottle is empty. IMG_20200330_152735_mh1585575780057.jpg
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.
