Max, Sebastian | Laser | dye changed, pulse energy measurements |
We changed the dye at 10am.
We increased the pump power for the dye Laser to 480mJ (before 450mJ). New calibration factor is 29 for Quanta Ray monitor signal.
We get now 17mJ UV pulse energy after SHG. Pulse energy before was 14mJ. |

Ken Ueberholz | Detectors | XUV-Detector Mesytec crash |
When the XUV-detector has to shut down unexpectedly, it can happen that the Mesytek power supply crashes and can't be
communicated with. If this happens the Mesytec PS needs to be restarted from hand inside of the ESR. This can be done by
restarting the crate located at the bottom of the XUV-detector.
This crash happened during the night shift today and the Mesytec should be restarted today as soon as possible. For
example when the laser stabilization gets fixed.
In normal operation this should never happen if no mistakes are made. |

Patrick | DAQ | How To Start MBS for DAQ2 (Carstens DAQ) |
(MBS server should be running at the LXG0155 machine. If not you will get an error message. Then start the server - last command in console)
Just enter the following commands in the console of any PC
ssh stoe_exp@r4l-68
*** Password on a sheet of paper ***
resl
cd /esr/usr/stoe_exp/E142Brandau/SCA... (auto complete with tab)
mbs
@startup
connect rfio lxg0155 -disk
open file lxg0155:/data.local2/E142/229Th -auto -rfio
sta ac
To stop MBS enter the following commands
sto ac
close file
disconnect rfio
@shutdown
exit

| | ToDo's for 07.04. |
Some ToDo's for the next shift:
- Work on Laser stabilisation 2nd stage in the ESR
- Mesytec power supply of the xuv-detector crashed and needs to be restarted in the ESR. Simply turning it the crate off and on again)!!
- Fix wavemeter fluctuates
- Compare MBS event size of DAQ 1 ("by laser group") and DAQ 2 ("by Carsten"), DAQ 1 data size was ~2 times larger than DAQ 2 data size.
- Use lmd-files measured last night to test Go4-Analysis.
- Practice measurement procedure with beam, see Message ID: 124. |

Ken Ueberholz | DAQ | Corrected cabling DAQ 2 |
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
7 Part-det-south
8 Part-det-north
9 1kHz
10 -
11 -
12 Delay-common-stop
13 PD-NO
14 PD-SO
15 Q-switch
All data taken by the DAQ2 has to be
considered as faulty up to now.
Carsten was furious. |

Patrick | DAQ | Measurement procedure |
Measurement procedure
- The laser hits the screen 'NO' (atppc017) right side of the burn spot
- Be ready to start a laser scan
- Scan laser goes into wavemeter!
- Have mbs connected
- Have go4 connected
Preparation done
- 'open file (...)' for DAQ1 & DAQ2
- request a new beam
- check scraping
- 'sta ac' for DAQ1 & DAQ2
- start laser scan
laser scan started
- 'sh ac' for DAQ1 & DAQ2
- check that acquisition is RUNNING and file is OPENED
- fill in table information in the ELOG.
laser scan complete
- 'sto ac' for DAQ1 & DAQ2
- 'close file'
- check if preparation is still fulfilled
- repeat from Preparation done |

Patrick | DAQ | DAQ 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. |

Apparently not so bad problems. we can continue.

mean: 25.08
PMT middle: 25.02
Delta = 0.6 bins * 3.3 ns = 0.2 ns
New injection:
PMT middle: 25.48 / 101.91

ParDet south - PMT middle (furthest / closest distance) = 161.1 ns / 91.1 ns |
