  167   Thu Jul 1 14:47:15 2021 Yury, HelmutAcceleratoradded high Brho scrapers
So far only scrapers for low Brho were used:
  GE01DS_HI = -58mm (arc from inside) and
  GEEXDS2HA = -11.2 (straight from outside)
We also want a cut on high Brho to avoid possible strange lines.

GE01DS_HA is limited in motion, at the maximum inside position (0.0 mm) there is no effect.

Next EEXDS1HG (aperture for ToF-detctor) in mm
120 -  completely out
 60 - no effect full beam
 45 -   "
 30 -   "
 20 -   "
 10 - very little beam remaining
  5 - gone
 12 - little beam
 14 - narow but little
 16 - narrow with small tail in left side
 20 - again like full
100 - full (as reference for the eye)

Then similar with E02DSHG in arc dipole in mm
 -130 - full
  -60 - full
  -40 - gone
  -45 - very tiny
  -55 - full
  -50 - less beam
  -52 - similar
  -53 - no difference
  -58 - looks like full

Now add EEXDS1HG again with -16mm, no difference, so keep both in.
==> we cut in arc from both sides and on straight secton from both sides
    Intensity does not look different to scrapers out. 
    It looks like a bit less 70Se in ESR then 1h before, but maybe other reason.

  105   Sun May 9 13:53:07 2021 Yuri, Wolfram, Andrew, LilianaCalibrationChange of energy: Back as before
After looking at the spectrum it was concluded that the same isotopes, and no more, could be identified. 
Now we change the energy back to 441.7 MeV/u and will open the scrappers to see if Mn comes in. 

The picture shows the effect of going back to the previous energy and then the effect of opening the scrappers

After setting up on 70Se
Sextupoles were adjusted to optimize the resolution of the 70Se peak. Set values are in the ESR logbook.
The SIS energy was shifted up to increase the number of 70Se.
Esis original = 445.68 MeV/u
Esis now = 451.68 MeV/u (+6 MeV/u)

See attached pictures

scrapers: 
GE01DS_HI =  -58mm
GE01DS_HA = +130mm (fully open)
GEEXDD2_S = -0.5mm
GEEXDS2HA = -11.2mm

1) Over night the source was conservated. It is being restarted now.
2) The approximated amount of Gas in this bottle shall allow for running until tomorrow morning (~24 h). There is still another bottle in reserve (1 l) and one reserve from GANIL (0.5 l).
3) Beam-time coordinator suggests to run until the gas is over, i.e., up into the weekend.

gamma_t = 1.3955
Br(72Ge) corresponds to 6.79575 Tm
E (Kr) at Br(72Ge) = 392.9 MeV/u
ESIS = 467.45 MeV/u (pre-drilling, after 1.8 g/cm2 target)
ESIS = 440.98 MeV/u (final energy for 72Ge)

-during setup, a 20 mm offset in the TE line was observed. Beam centered via changing the Br of the beamline (~4 MeV/u up). Optimized pre-drilling transmission ~20% (with thick target)

  40   Fri May 7 09:56:43 2021 YuriCalibrationIdentification Verification
With closed scrapers there are only a few weak lines.
Open temporarily all scrapers in the ESR to write down the frequencies.

SIS optimisation requires us to stop. Only sporadic shots.
  42   Fri May 7 10:05:06 2021 YuriAcceleratorE02DS3HG does not drive
E02DS3HG stays at -35 mm and does not react
  43   Fri May 7 10:46:40 2021 YuriAcceleratorGE02DS3HG
The scraper is blocked at -10 mm and -unfortunately- blocks the beam in the ESR. Uli Popp is taking care.

The beam is on the right frequency, but the width is still very broad.

12:46 moved the TOF detector scraper back to -11 mm
  214   Fri Jul 2 16:14:17 2021 YuriAcceleratorScrapers 4 72Br
Starting 15:15
The scrapers are moved very much close to each other to eliminate all background particles and leaving basically single ions injected for 72Br. Do not wonder, this means that also many empty files are created.
Scrapers:
E02DS3HG -> -40 mm
EEXDS1HG -> +5 mm
EEXDS2HA -> 0.0 mm

One sees probably a decay of 100 keV isomer, see the attached figure at about 18 s
We will run a few hours with this setting
