  202   Fri Jul 2 07:31:44 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Iris and Guy)Analysis00h to 05h Summed Spectra
Using the scripts I posted previously, I summed 5.5 hours of data from midnight to 5:30 July 2nd CEST. 
I used 10ms time steps for better time resolution, but that did leave questionable frequency resolution. If anyone would like to see higher resolved frequency plots for the 
full 5 hours, let me know.
I've attached the spectra from 0s to 4s  for the 410MHz and 0s to 2s for the 245MHz, including zooming in on the injection timing. 

Given that we are summing 5 hours of data so the background is very smooth, I can only conclude that either the isomer doesn't exit, we cannot resolve it, or we are 
producing incredibly low amounts such that the search needs to be needle in a haystack.

  224   Sat Jul 3 01:28:08 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy and Iris)AnalysisSummed spectra 410 MHz from 21:00-23:59 (70Se)
Here's a picture with all injections with an ion in the spectrum (empty ones were removed- list below). The time slices are 0-0.5-1-1.5-2s, then in 0.2s steps up to 3s. Not really anything to see :-(  The previous shift was right, looking at single spectra might be more useful. I'll group the pictures and upload some "interesting" ones.


Here is the list of spectra btw 21-23:59 which we have removed since they were empty or had just an ion on the far left side:

  226   Sat Jul 3 03:07:43 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy & Iris)AnalysisSome single spectra (410 MHz) from 21-24h
Attached are some single spectra with a rough attempt to group them according to the different ions that appear.
  227   Sat Jul 3 03:41:48 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy & Iris)AnalysisSummed Spectra Summary
To summarise the method of bulk summing the spectra, I've created frequency vs time spectra by using the e143_analyser.py script to stack a series of -s slices. I applied it to some of last runs data with 72Ge, to the 72Br data, last night's less-scraped 70Se, and tonight's more-scraped 70Se, respectively.

A few comments: the 72Ge isomer trail is obvious, but I would never have found it in this total sum if I didn't know where to look. I had to turn up the contrast a lot before it was visible. The 72Br isomer is less obvious than in the single particle tracks, but it too is obvious. You can see that the peak is wider to left at the injection, and 
then narrows out as the isomer decays. This is what we would see if the two peak weren't well resolved.
With that in mind, the 70Se data is challenging. We've established the broad peak is not the isomer as it is not present in the 245MHz detector., and the many single lines seen in the well-scraped data correspond in frequency exactly to this broad band. The 70Se peak doesn't get broader at the base at injection like 72Br, and there isn't any 
line visible in the sum in between. I was nervous that the contrast might be the problem like with 72Ge, but I turned up the contrast on the less-scraped data, but no signal emerged.

So I conclude that if the 70Se isomer is to be found, it needs to be done on a shot-by-shot basis with comparison to the sum to see if it matches the intruder broad peak.
  228   Sat Jul 3 04:33:50 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy & Iris)AnalysisSlight shift in 70Se frequency
Looks like the beam is slightly drifting...the 70Se peak frequency is slightly shifted to the left, by ~0.5 kHz compared to earlier spectra. Might be a problem with the analyzer (?) or the storage ring energy (slightly lower?)... nothing drastical but to be observed.
  230   Sat Jul 3 06:48:38 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy & Iris)AnalysisCloser potential isomer tracks
After looking through >800 shots from Jul 2nd 21h to Jul 3rd 05h, we couldn't find a single example of a "smoking gun" isomer decay. I.e. I'm talking about the examples Liliana posted earlier. We did find many examples (roughly 10%) where the ion track spontaneously 
disappeared, but this shouldn't be the isomer as there was no frequency shift.

We did, as Iris mentioned, observe some line "in-between" the broad peak unique to the 410MHz, and listed them here (https://triumfoffice365-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/dillmann_triumf_ca/EdKsMfSC3AlHopA36PdLBlsBE2MCSY0hh5qIsuau5HFBmg?rtime=Z2os4J492Ug).
I then proceeded to sum these files to see if they lined up. The result it attached, with the previous total sum from 21-00h Jul 2nd at the bottom for comparison. It seems the 70Se line has shifted, this is observed in the other shots too. However, despite the low 
statistics, these other shots don't line up with the broad peak identified before, although they don't line up well with each other individually either.
In either case, we think these files might be worth offline analysis as they're the only possible hint of the 70Se isomer so far.
  Draft   Sat Jul 3 06:49:55 2021 The remote Canadian eager beavers (Guy &Iris)AnalysisList of possible spectra with isomer decay
Attached is an example for the possible isomer (on the left) next to the 70Se (right). 

Here's the list with the files to look at, btw 21:00-6:30. Further analysis needs to be done offline. The slight frequency shift overnight made it a bit harder to see, unfortunately.

Opened TE4 slits again to +/-10mm.

Then we tried different scrapers:
in south arc outside: E02DS3HG, cuts at ~ -25mm, at -15mm gone, leave at -35mm.

on straight section: EEXDS2HA cuts at ~ -25mm, leave at -25mm.

EEXDS1HA, closing it to -25mm revealed a double peak structure with distance just like the wanted isomer (-2.2MHz at h=211).
But it is present on all intense peaks at the same distance, so it must be an artefact of a strange isochronicity curve.
Closing it to -15mm even had only the smaller lower frequency line survive.
But then it must be also possible to have only the stronger line. leave at -25mm

This worked with scraper in north arc E01DS_H which can cut from both sides.
The insie can ve iused to cut the lower Brho, 
at -50mm still two peaks, at -45mm left peak almost gone, -40mm left peak gone but right still intense, leave at -40mm.

-> Lower Brho seems to be clearly related to lower frequency, higher Brho side is not so clearly related to frequency.

Measure in this setting, nice void at wanted frequency. But no isomers appear so far.

SIS optimisation requires us to stop. Only sporadic shots.

The scraper is blocked at -10 mm and -unfortunately- blocks the beam in the ESR. Uli Popp is taking care.
