The "20 mm" dye cell used for the Oscillator and Pramplifier got damage. I supposed it was produced by the pump beam hitting on a very "old" dye solution (DCM / Ethanol, concentration 0,3 g/l). The solution in the dye reservoir was more 12 months old.

  80   Sun Apr 3 13:05:08 2022 CarstenLaserDistance of Partilce detecotrs wr.t. to electron cooler
As of Yuris post in the elog the positions (Info from H. Weick):

The postion of the particle counter behind the cooler is 21.6 m behind the middle of the cooler.
This correspond to 21.6m /108,4m = 1 / 5.02 of a full revolution (please check the present revolution frequency, i.e. for 2MHz, i.e. 500ns we have the signal approx 100ns after the ion is in the middle of the cooler).
If the detecot Nord would be used for bunch timing (only planned if detctor south is defect) the distance  is half a ring + 21.4m, beind the center  of the cooler, i.e. (54.2m+21.6m)/108.4m ~ 0.7

  32   Thu Mar 24 13:27:47 2022 RodolfoDAQDisk space - LXG1297
In our Linux computer (LXG1297: Laser spectroscopy) we have a Drive with 1.8 TB total disk space. 300 GB are at the moment in use, but I can clean this.

This computer is located in the "Atomphysik Messhütte".
  101   Tue Apr 5 20:16:13 2022 RodolfoLaserDiscriminator for HF reference signal
For the laser trigger we need to generate a few ns NIM-puls from the HF reference signal. Therefore we (Wilfried, Konstantin and me) have changed the constant fraction descriminator (CFD) to generate this kind of pulse.

- We are using now the module N843 from CAEN, see picture below. With this we could now produce ~20 ns long pulse.
- This signal is also used as STOP trigger for the VUPROMs

The ramp for moving the beam to the central orbit

This can be done only when one stays in the manipulation 5

  163   Fri Apr 8 14:14:28 2022 KristianDAQDelay of bunch RF
The bunch HF is now fed through a delay to shift the stop trigger relative to the PMT signal. The delay generator is placed directly after the CFG and before splitting the signal for the two DAQs. The relative timing of both DAQs was not changed.
  133   Thu Apr 7 09:23:18 2022 SebastianDAQDAQ1 & DAQ2 - 1kHz and delayed cs removed
Questionable 1kHz and delayed common stop signals has been removed.

These two cablings were for some previous tests.

Concerning ID 146 a new histogram for accumulating data (no cleaning histograms) can be found under

Step2_Anl/TDC/TDC***_accumulated_***
  172   Fri Apr 8 23:56:07 2022 PatrickDAQDAQ improvement
As requested in ID:146 and ID:147, the laserscan tab was improved:
  • The laserscan tab shows each observable plotted against the predefined wavelength setpoints now.

  • The Kobra set wavelength shows the actual setpoints now and not measured wavelengths.

Note: The bins of the laserscan histograms are defined in TLdaAnlProc.cxx, lines 140-142.
At the moment, the histograms are set up for scans in the range 320 - 325 nm and step sizes of 0.01 nm.
If the step size changes or scans that exceed this range are required, these parameters should be adjusted.
Remember to add or subtract half of the step size to your min. and max. wavelength to prevent binning artifacts.
Then of course, also only scan wavelengths which are multiples of your step size.
  122   Thu Apr 7 03:06:15 2022 PatrickDAQDAQ file sizes
The file sizes of DAQ1 (229Thor) and DAQ2 (229Th, "Carstens DAQ") are different.
During 20min of laser scanning DAQ1 saves 4 files while DAQ2 saves 2 files which was 3.3 GB and 2 GB, respecively.
The file sizes of DAQ2 should always be greater than those of DAQ1, because of extra ADC data!

The problem seems to be solved after the recabling ID: 125.
  140   Thu Apr 7 15:18:25 2022 Danyal & SebastianDAQDAQ channels
We checked again the cables for both DAQs 
(on Carsten's kind request) 


Channels for both DAQs are:

2 XUV-Anode-delayed 
3 PMT-South (new PMT, new threshold)

  34   Thu Mar 24 17:10:33 2022 CarstenDAQDAQ / MBS VUPROM TDC buffer errors
VUPROM TDC buffer errors potentially due to long TDC common Stop gate (>1ms from div 200).
Signal piped through coinc. unit gicv es shorter sginal (~200ns). This signal used as common stop seems to have cured the TDC buffer errors..
  72   Sat Apr 2 23:16:55 2022 Carsten Cu mirror and CsI moved in and out of the ring
Ken tested the Cu-mirror and CsI disk Detector. They move without a problem and don't scrape the ion beam.

A lot of cables were wrongly or not 
connected to the DAQ 2. 

Channels are now for both DAQ:
0 XUV-Back
1 XUV-Anode
2 XUV-Anode-delayed
3 PMT-South
4 PMT-Middle
5 PMT-North
6 PMT-Cu

All data taken by the DAQ2 has to be 
considered as faulty up to now. 

Carsten was furious.
