  185   Sun Mar 22 12:50:00 2020 ShahabRunsLife time of 10 MeV/u Tail of 118-Te-52+ 
The life time of 10 MeV/u Tail of cycle 118-Te-52+ was analyzed using Schottky peak intensity. Schottky signal was taken from the parallel plate Schottky monitor at  using the:

Tektronix RSA5103B analyzer parameters:
Frequency = 39.8380 MHz
span = 50 kHz
RBW = 100 Hz
AcqBW = 78.12 kHz

The peak intensity is integrated power of the resolution bandwidth. 

Trigger was set to machine 12, same as gas target "on" signal. Each file contains 40 seconds of recorded signal. Spectra were calculated using sensitive multitaper method with additional averaging of every 10 time frames.

After evaluation of several Schottky spectra, except from some fluctuations, there was no significant change in beam lifetime with or without gas target. They are in the same order of magnitude, that is, it seems that target interaction is not so prominent compared to the rest of the ring. with a xenon target the situation would be much different.


Attached are some plots. Also here are the results of the analyzed files in text form:

  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.
