This is the summary of all Si data collected at 6 MeV/u until run174 before the Alvarez problem.
We have roughly 50-60 counts in the peak region.
This data corresponds roughly to 36hours of beam, which means ~1.5 to 2 counts/hour.

  575   Thu Jul 8 13:39:34 2021 JanCalibrationElectron cooler parameters2021
Below are the results from the e-cooler voltage offset measurments done by Regina Hess et al. using the voltage divider (VD).

--7 MeV-- 
Sollwert GECEBG1E: 4008.3 V     
Measured at VD: 3913 V
Offset: -95.3 V

--6 MeV-- 
Sollwert GECEBG1E: 3460.5 V     
Measured at VD: 3364 V 
Offset: -96.5 V

Below are the cooler parameters from ParaModi for our production runs.

--7 MeV/u--
UE: 3842.7V
IE: 50mA
BG1E: 4008.7V
BG1E dU: 120V

--6 MeV/u--
UE: 3290.833V
IE: 50mA
BG1E: 3460.4809V
BG1E dU: 120V

--energy calculation--
as described here 

-- uncertainty --
for E108b we agreed on 10%
maybe further discussion is needed

Table of ion energies calculated from cooler parameters

nominal energyV_set V_meas I_set E_ion E_Error
6 MeV/u 3460.5 V 3364 V 50 mA 6.042 MeV/u YY keV/u
7 MeV/u 4008.3 V 3913 V 50 mA 7.049 MeV/u YY keV/u


Here is how the calculation works:

1. Find the voltage and current set values that were active during the measurement cycle.

2. These are only SetValues. For the current this is fine, but for the voltage you have to subtract an offset. This offset comes from the power supply and changes over time. It is measured regularly and the present offset you have to inquire with the ESR/cooler crew. For our beam time E127b in 2021 the offset is:

V_offset = -95 +/- ?? V (only for E127b)

The uncertainty has still to be discussed.

3. The space charge of the electron beam reduces the effective voltage seen by the electrons and thus reduces their energy. You have to calculate the space charge potential Phi_0 on the beam axis using the following formular:



using R_tube = 10cm and R_e-beam = 2,54 cm and all constants, you arrive at the ESR specific equation:



4. Now calculate effective Voltage and electron energy:

V_eff = V_set + V_offset + Phi_0

This time we measured the effective voltage for each energy, so we can actually use this values (V_meas) instead of V_set + V_offset.

E_e = e * V_eff

5. With E_e you can now calculate the ion energy by using the definition of the Lorentzfactor gamma:

gamma - 1 = E_kin/(m_0 * c^2)

In equilibrium, the left side of the equation is equal for both, electrons and ions in the cooler, leading to:

E_ion = E_el * M_ion/M_el

which gives the total energy of the ions.

NOTE:
In principle, this should be an iterative calculation, since the potential depends on beta and is then used to calulate beta or ion energy. But in practice a single iteration is precise enough, if beta was a good estimate.

Attached are the theory K-REC cross sections as calculated by Andrey Surzhykov (August 2021).

They are done for 118Te52+ on H2 at 7.049 and 6.042 MeV/u as well as for 124Xe54+ on H2 at 7.049 MeV/u.


first column - photon angle (deg), second column - cross section (barn/sr). The results are given already in the laboratory frame.

Comment of Andrey on uncertainty:
Important question about theoretical model and, hence, accuracy of calculations. I used slightly improved "impulse approximation" that takes into account momentum and energy distribution of target electron (in initial state). By playing with the models for the Compton profile of target electron, I estimate the accuracy of calculations as 1 %. To be fair, it is rather conservative estimate. I suspect that for large emission angle (around 90 deg) accuracy is even better. But let us stay with 1 %.

Logbook from start of FRS until 118Te injection
  352   Wed May 19 15:09:22 2021 Helmut WeickGeneralFRS settings, LISE file2021
Here is a setting plan for FRS and corresponding LISE files.
2 LISE files still use the old FRS-ESR optics, one the new with S6 focus on slits. 
But this does not make a big difference for the simulation, only dispersion S2-S6 is lower.
For realistic contaminants you must open the slits at S6 more(~ +/-10mm).
Added a list of fragments and expected frequencies after cooling at 400 MeV/u.
Only nuclides close to 118Te in m/q should be cooled.
  497   Thu May 27 13:48:18 2021 Helmut WeickAcceleratorFRS wrong status display for one day2021
By checking the log files we realized that from yesterday 26.05. 13:44 - today 13:05 the FRS degrader was shown as out.
TS3ET7US should be at -420.0mm not at -580mm (=out). This 3.26mm Sci is used as a degrader and is essential.

After recognizing we set the drive controller back to remote and moved the degrader to -420mm (at 13:02)
The wrong values start on 26.05. at 13:44 and show variation until 16:11 until over night it was always shown as out.

It was tested today (~14h) that if you really move it out no beam is injected into ESR, but beam and even Te was observed in ESR last night.

The drive controller was in manual mode and it may not have given correct updates.
But it was also tested today that drives on the same crate get updates even in manual mode (at ~16h with TS1DG5_S and TS3ED7DS).

We also checked graylog. No drive command was issued yesterday in this time period, whereas the drive commands for testing today can be clearly seen.
Yesterday other drives in S4 area on the same controller were tested. This is most likely the reason for the manual mode.
