Max, Sebastian | Accelerator | lesser ESR injection intensity |
We now have less ESR injection intensity (see screenshot attached).
This can also be seen in the count rate after "UNILAC/SIS failures".
Before failure: ~7k-8k
Now: 3k
The stored particles in the SIS are only in the range between 1.4 and 1.7e9 |

Danyal | Detectors | new PMT south |
I have replaced the PMT south (looks at the gas target).
in the hope that this will produce less dark counts.
Thus far, the dark countrate is low (few Hz).
brand: ET enterprises
type: 2" photomultiplier, 9423B
High voltage: -2.45 kV (up to -3.5 kV)
spectral range: 110 - 230 nm
The power comes from an additional 2.5 kV supply.
(I have changed the cable: was CH0 before) |

Volker, David, Pierre-Michel & Danyal, Alexandre, Sebastian | General | new laser wavelength scan range 321.62 - 321.10 nm |
New wavelength scan range is 321.62 - 321.10 nm. Before the new scan range (compare old scan range in Entry 215) was applied,
the cooler settings were slightly modified. Current was changed from 50 mA to 40 mA, correction voltage was changed from 3943 V to 3948 V. Additionally, the positions
of scraper NA was changed from -10 mm to -8 mm and scraper NI from +10 mm to +8 mm.

14:00 We just enquired about the status and when beam could be back.
The current estimate is 17:00.
More work on laser aligment is required.

Danyal & Carsten | Accelerator | target bump | This afternoon, we found out that Sergey has also implemented a "target bump".
Although we do not use a target, this bump is still convenient because
we can move the ion beam such that is passes perfectly through the Cu mirror.
The setting is -8 mm and 1.3 mrad (if I am not mistaken)
We tested the effect on the position of the ion beam using the
horizontal scrapers at the target: GEEXDS1HA and GEEXDS2HA.
With the target bump set to "zero" (0 mm and 0 mrad),
the ion beam passed 6-8 mm to the outside.
This way, it will e.g. not pass centrally through the slit in the Cu mirror.
With the target bump set to -8 mm and 1.3 mrad, which is the default setting, the ion beam passed centrally.
Therefore, we left the target bump like this. |

morning shift | DAQ | timing for h=1 | The timing for h=1 has been set up
The time window is now twice as large as before!
This means that we see the same ion bunch twice.
(150 bins = 1 turn in the ESR)
The PMT signal is exactly in between two cycles + the extra flight time (3 bins = 10 ns) from target to PMT north. |
