This file really has the optics like used in the last ESR experiments.
Now the transmission is also a little bit better.

changed trigger time back to 50%

last file with 1% trigger: 

245 MHZ 2021.05.07.16.07.03.493
410 MHz 2021.05.07.17.07.21.104


p.s. remember the 245 Analyzer has a 1 hour offset in time stamp because of daylight saving time in win10 setting

Please check following two parameters every two hours into make sure the NTCAP is running well: 
1. The latest recorded tdms files:
 p:\E143\sc\**\**
 p:\E143\iq\**\**
2. The rest space on the drive "p:\" : **GByte.

We see a very strong line at the left end of spectrum, stronger than all other lines.
When we shift the target TE3UF_H from -35mm to -37mm it gete weaker, but -37mm is the end of drive.
In the other direction it becomes worse. At -25mm completely new peaks.
Also scan in Y direction TE3UF_V +25mm and +40mm give other fragments even very intense, while the old lines vanish.
So production happens in target frame. 
Use -37mm, +37mm as best target position.

We run with TCap only for some time hoping there is somewhere a peak of 70Se
running from about 9:15 to about 22:00
We set scrapers in the previous optimum position

last file names with this setting:

410 was not recording data in this period.

At 19:56 the DAQ is stopped. 
The plan is to go back to the setting for Se. 
Last files for the Br setting:

In anticipation of the imminent shift change, a snapshot of how things look.

still no beam in ESR: quadrupole magnets are down

At the moment we see a second peak to the left of each intense line. 
The distance between the main peak and the shadow is roughly the same for each peak.
This hints to a sharp fall in the isochronicity curve.
Helmut now tries to remove these shadows by using different scrappers. 

at 17:20 intensity was suddenly reduced. 
Operators checked. Intensity was a bit low and fluctuating for a while (8e8 to 1e9)
Intensity (1.5e9) was recovered at 18:16

after optimizing the scrapers we have reached the highest possible resolution in the isochronous mode.

starting data taking with this new settings.

The change of the source happens now

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

To improve the isochronicity still in the 72Ge setting sextupoles and scrapers wer varies successfully.

1. E02DS_H -130 / 130mm  - wide rect. peak
            -30 / 130    - nothing 
            -35 / 130    - weak but broad
            -70 / 130    - wider rect peak
            -70 / 30     - two peaks
            -70 / 10     - peak + small peak
            -70 / 0      - peak  + tiny peak
   cannot move more than 0, back to 
            -70 / 50

2. E01DS_H: -130/130    -   wide rectangular distribution
             -40/130    -   wide double structure
             -35/130    -   very weak, still double structure
 some sectupole tuning
             -40/0      - nothing
             -50 / 0    - peak with right tail
  cannot close outside more than 0 so try next scraper

3. E01DS3HG
  -130  - peak with long right tail
   -30  - nothing
   -50  - peak with long right tail
   -40  - weak peak with long right tail
  ==> no good scraper do not use

4. EEXDS2HA
   -120   - peak with long right tail
    -20   - peak with long right tail
      0   - peak with less right tail
     10   - small peak, no right tail
      5   - smaller peak, no right tail
      3   - smaller peak, with small right tail
      8   - small peak no tail
  ==> good scraper use it (+8mm)

5. Try a bit more on E01DS_H
  -55 / 0  - small peak no tail
  -55 / 50 - same no loss in resolution
  -55 /130 - same no loss in resolution
  -65 /130 - same good peak, but higher intensity
  -75 /130 - same good peak, but left tail
  -65 /130 - same good peak, no tail

6. open E02DS_H to -130 / 130 no difference 

7. again E01DS_H
 -125 /130 - very wide left tail
  -68 /130 - one peak
  -72 /130 - one peak, samll left tail
  -66 /130 - one peak, no tail
 ==> good scraper use it (-66mm)

8. check all other scrapers they are all open
   also open TE4 slits to +/-20mm, no difference, back to +/-10 mm

9. bit more sextupole variation on the narrow line

===>  only two scrapers used

the left marker is for a +691 keV isomer.
