Category: Runs 
Subject: Afternoon and night shift runs 
After the morning shift, we got new increment (nm) for the laser scanning. We are now scanning 2 nm of wavelength range in 5 big steps (5 x 0.4 nm). Started with 323.2 nm - 322.8 nm range. Every big step (0.4 nm) is scanned with 0.002 nm of wavelength increment.

Every scan takes ~ 18 min (0.4 nm range with 0.002 nm steps), we have scanned 2 loops. Total scanning time ~36 min.

Carsten (19:00h): I notized that a lot of beam gets lost when starting scraping. I called Sergey Litvinov to help me to introduce some additional cooling/waiting (10s) after the ramp and before scraping and bunching. It increased the number of ions available for the measurement roughly by a factor of 3-5.

Some runs have wrong WM data. Set Wavelength is good.

Following files are saved differently, the command missed the 229Th in the end (/data.local2/BeamTimeTh22/229Thor -auto -rfio)
