2) There is 206Pb81+ (H-like primary beam) inside ESR at 400 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.

Tue Mar 31 20:32:05 2020, Ragan, General, 203Tl80+ 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+
|
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. |
Tue Mar 31 20:50:05 2020, Ragan, General, 200Hg79+ 205Tl81+
|
203Tl80+ impurity is removed by moving scrapper inside ESR.
Only 220Hg79+ is left now |
Tue Mar 31 21:07:05 2020, Ragan, General, Separation of 203Tl80+ and 200Hg79+ using scrapper in ESR
|
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. |

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 ! |

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.)

loss. We manged to closed GEE5VV so that now beam is stable somehow.
