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.

Entry  Mon Mar 23 03:07:11 2020, Shahab, Runs, SIS Kicker problem,  IMG_20200323_021051.jpg
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.

Entry  Mon Mar 23 03:53:41 2020, Shahab, Runs, Reduced 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.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 03:58:25 2020, Shahab, General, Kicker guy arrived,  
Kicker Guy (U. Blell) arrived in order to fix modules.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 04:08:12 2020, Shahab, Runs, run 93 stopped,  
run 93 which was during faulty kicker was stopped so that the kicker module can be repaired.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 05:55:24 2020, Shahab, Runs, Kicker problem not solved yet,  
no solution to kicker problem. 
Entry  Mon Mar 23 05:59:01 2020, Shahab, Runs, SIS Kicker ,  
SIS Kicker seems to be working properly. but we have to see how regularly it will work.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 06:20:06 2020, Shahab, Runs, Position on scintillator corrected sitll no beam in ESR,  IMG_20200323_061337.jpg
position on the scintillator was corrected by the OPs to center, but beam is still not in ESR.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 06:40:17 2020, Shahab, Runs, no beam in SIS nor in ESR,  
manic Monday morning.
Entry  Mon Mar 23 06:49:46 2020, Shahab, Runs, ESR kicker also has some problems,  
 
Entry  Mon Mar 23 07:56:51 2020, Laszlo, General, Yuri 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"
