Setting for the machines.
Entry  Fri Mar 20 01:21:00 2020, Laszlo, General, target is switched on event based,  
 
Entry  Fri Mar 20 01:11:58 2020, Laszlo, General, Target - beam jntersection,  IMG_20200320_011008.jpg
We have managed to find the target position with the beam by looking at the xray spectra. The trick was that at 10mev we 
only have a low increase in the xray rates, so.we went for 400Mev/u where the rate change was dramatic (see in the 
picture)

Beam lifetime is estimated to be 11sec at least (hard to.see with the cursor the corrct values on the shottky monitor) 
but Yury says it is even 
~20sec. The particle njmbers are on the attached picture, however at 10Mev the cirrent measurement is not.really 
Entry  Thu Mar 19 19:14:40 2020, Laszlo, General, primary beam measurement,  
Now our aim is to decelerate the primary beam (naked 124Xe) down to 10MeV/u. At this energy we can test our detectors and that how the scraping works. In
addition, in the E108b experiment, 124Xe(p,g), there is no measurement point at 10MeV/u.
Entry  Thu Mar 19 15:09:29 2020, Jan, General, starting off with DSSSD,  
here is my short guide how to start with the measurement as soon as we have a beam available.

Entry  Thu Mar 19 09:43:28 2020, Laszlo, General, Status of the ESR,  
After two days of tuning the beam, yesterday evening (~8pm), it was found out that within one ESR pattern using the new control system the harmonics of
the cavities cannot be changed. This gives us a fatal limitation, that we cannot go lower 
than 10MeV/u with the beam energy.
