since about 01:40 AM, there is no beam in ESR. .
stopped data acquisition
OPs are working on it. After searching, OPs decided that something is wrong with ESR.

  217   Mon Mar 23 03:07:11 2020 ShahabRunsSIS Kicker problem 
After calling ESR on-call duty (M. Steck) he confirmed that the ESR is fine and suspected the SIS kicker modules.

SIS operators then checked and could confirm that module 5 is out of order and module 4 sometimes works sometimes not.

They asked me I said better to run as good as possible with lower number of modules until the end of experiment, then later change the module. because otherwise changing module might take time.

they tried to increase the kick angle to check if they can move the spot to the center.

some shots went well but mostly failed.

they decided to call the Rufbereitschaft.

meanwhile I started the run number 93 to at least collect some data from some of the correct shots.

if counts are too high I will stop it.

let's see.

  219   Mon Mar 23 03:53:41 2020 ShahabRunsReduced intensity inspite of faulty kicker 
SIS Kicker is still faulty. but we managed to reduce again the intensity to around 2e6 particles in ring to reduce scattering on scraper.
  220   Mon Mar 23 03:58:25 2020 ShahabGeneralKicker guy arrived 
Kicker Guy (U. Blell) arrived in order to fix modules.
  221   Mon Mar 23 04:08:12 2020 ShahabRunsrun 93 stopped 
run 93 which was during faulty kicker was stopped so that the kicker module can be repaired.
  222   Mon Mar 23 05:55:24 2020 ShahabRunsKicker problem not solved yet 
no solution to kicker problem. 
  223   Mon Mar 23 05:59:01 2020 ShahabRunsSIS Kicker  
SIS Kicker seems to be working properly. but we have to see how regularly it will work.
  224   Mon Mar 23 06:20:06 2020 ShahabRunsPosition on scintillator corrected sitll no beam in ESR 
position on the scintillator was corrected by the OPs to center, but beam is still not in ESR.

manic Monday morning.
  226   Mon Mar 23 06:49:46 2020 ShahabRunsESR kicker also has some problems 
  227   Mon Mar 23 07:56:51 2020 LaszloGeneralYuri made magick and we operate again 
DSSSD was moved out (HV switched off)
also the scraper was mistakenly moved.

Now we move everything back to its original position

We leave the scraper still in the "scraping position" in order to collect more data.
Soon we should switch to "without sctraper mode"
