322.01 - 321.60 nm

We scan the wavelength scan range is 322.01 - 321.60 nm

before the first scan of the new wavelength range we changed the high voltage divider ratio in Labview from 248514 to 248517, which is the correct value for this voltage. This leads to slightly higher cooler voltages in the log.

New flashlamps

We (Sarper, Konstantin and me) have changed the old flashlamps (with ~ 26 Mio. shots) by new "fresh" ones. We have also exchange the dye. Here are some parameters of the laser we measured with the new flashlamps and dye*:

- Output energy after the Quanta-Ray (@ 532 nm): 598 mJ.
- Seed energy for Cobra (@ 532 nm): 505 mJ.
- Correction factor for monitor; 15.9.
- Output energy after Cobra's main amplifier cell (@ 640 nm): 107 mJ.
- Output energy after SHG (@ 320 nm): 15.8 mJ.

* all values are average over 500 shots.
** below you can see a picture of the "old" flashlamps.

Alignment-check

We cross-checked the laser-ion alignment. The horizontal position was optimized. However, 
since the laser beam is much larger than the ion beam, this was not an issue for measurements, which
have been performed during the last shifts.
The modified parameters of the stabilization system are attached.

Th lifetime

We used the counter to measure the lifetime. During the 30 min scan time dropped only slowly. 

During a longer break, e.g., when the laser flash lamps are changed, one could take data over a longer time.

10:17 
Wie heutemorgen in der Sitzung (morning briefing) vereinbart, 
führt Herr Florenkowski einen Interlock und danach einen Reset von E02MK durch. 
Das dauert nur ca. 15 min. 

nach dem interlock wurde der ESR "rot" 

Um 10:21 war das problem gelöst und der ESR war wieder "blau"

Next wavelength range

Measurements with the next wavelength scan range should be started roughly around 10:00 am.
The next wavelength scan range is planned to be 322.41 - 322.00 nm, again with a step size of 0.002 nm, 5s dwell time and 2 loops.
This range includes roughly a third of the first scan range.

Status - Laser system

We have checked the laser system.

- The pump laser has ~ 23Mio shots. The total output energy has dropped to about 475 mJ. Maybe it is time to install new fresh flashlamps. In case the accelerator is going to have any mantainance tomorrow (Monday) then we can take the oportunity to exchange the flashlaps.
- The dye laser is pumped with 470 mJ (angle of lambda/2 plate = 112°).
- The energy after the second harmonic is 11,3 mJ @ 646 nm. We are using the Sarper's calibration table (635 nm - 646 nm)
