EXCEL table with all possible fragments injected into ESR.
The path length in ESR, gamma_t and harmonic are adjusted to the 72Ge data. 
Some lifetimes are limited but all intense lines are >30s in lab system.
There are two versions (for cooled beam with fixed v or uncooled (isochronous) 
with fixed average Brho, take the second (grey) column.
For larger frequency shifts harmonics will overlap.
You can add more isomers.

  198   Fri Jul 2 05:08:16 2021 Guy Leckenby (Canadian beaver team)Analysise143_analyser.py Summing Script
I've written two scripts that others might find useful for the on-line analysis. 
  1. The first is a simple bash script that runs a for loop to run the e143_analyzer.py script for a sequence of start values (-s). You'll need to change the increment and 
start/end of the for loop to set the time resolution.
  2. The second is a root script that takes the above generated scripts, reads the histograms, and then fills a 2D histogram. You'll need to adjust the TH2 bin number to 
match both the bin number of the TH1s and the number of analysed files. I've included a print line to help identify the TH1 bin number.

To see the first results, I've attached a sum of July 1st 22-23h data. Sadly, I don't see any indication of the isomer, or at least the production is very low.
  206   Fri Jul 2 12:18:35 2021 Pavlos, AlexandreAcceleratore-cooling
Sergey Litvinov will now try to setup the e-cooler to cool the beam in the ESR. 
The data taking has been stopped (except the NTCAP).
  191   Fri Jul 2 01:39:51 2021 IK, KKRunsdrop of intensity
We see a drop in beam intensity from 7E9 to 2E8 between 01:30 and 01:43
  194   Fri Jul 2 03:10:03 2021 IK, KKRunsdrop of intensity
We see that intensity stabalized at 9E8 which is smaller then before. 
We neticed this at 2:50, keep observing.
  195   Fri Jul 2 03:19:49 2021 IK, KKRunsdrop of intensity
And the intensity is back again to 5E9 at 03:20
  156   Wed Jun 30 15:21:44 2021 ShahabRunsdata synch on WWW server
Data is being shared on the WWW server.
Time difference between the analyzers is in order of seconds:

time stamp of the 245MHz data is leading those of 410MHz by 21.733 [s]
  5   Tue May 4 18:25:31 2021 Helmut WeickSimulationscutting of primary beam
The slits at TE4 and TE5 can be used to cut away the unwanted 78Kr beam (see pictures).
We do not want activation of the beamline. 78Kr35+ even has a chance of being injected.
  6   Tue May 4 21:49:04 2021 Helmut WeickSimulationscut Brho by scrapers
The dispersion from the production target into the ESR is not matched.
This is not good for momentum acceptance, but we anyway want to cut the acceptance.
Dispersion will oscillate with the tune of ESR. After 3 turns we expect a maximum dispersion. 
The picture shows in red the dispersion curve for dp/p=0.1% and beam envelopes of 10 mm mrad.
So we can use scrapers in north or south arc to cut Brho. It should be done from both sides.
How much? Watch the intensity drop.
Best positions look at plot. Straight section outside for low Brho, arc outside for high Brho.
Could be EEXDS2HA and E02DSH (outside).
  137   Tue Jun 29 10:32:10 2021 Sergey, HelmutAcceleratorcooler curves for tuning of isochronicity
Variation of quadrupole E01QS03D to change gamma_t in isoc. mode
measured with 78Kr at 368.5 MeV/u on 28.06.2021 evening.
The shape of the three curves looks very similar they would only require a different beam velocity.
But I suppose we stay with the value close to the old one (gamma_t ~ 1.3956).
  110   Sun May 9 18:50:23 2021 Helmut, Wolfram, YuriAcceleratorchanged to 70Se
18:45  changed SIS, ESR setting for 70Se without predrilling blind change.
E-SIS =  446.55 MeV/u, is centerd as before on TE3UF target grid.
set beamline after taret as 78Kr 36+ E = 337.375 MeV/u
set ESR to A = 70, Z=34 at isochronous E/m + 0.8 MeV/u = 369.2 MeV/u
kicker delay unchanged

4 quadrupoles failed during the change, skip cycle and reset, they work again, (GE01QS0D, GE01QS1F, GE01QS2F, GE01QS4F)

Now many lines in Schottky.

also 2 corrector coils were off, on again, now good resolution.
  138   Tue Jun 29 20:13:58 2021 Helmut, Sergey, YuriAcceleratorchange to predrilling an 72Ge
After optimisation of sextupoles we found a scraper position which makes a narrow peak and keeps 20% of the injected beam.
  GEEXDS2HA = +2.0 mm (out is +130mm)
  GE01DS_HI = -75 mm  (out is -130mm)
removed scrapers again for predrilling.

We agree on gamma_t = 1.3956, E/m = 368.50 MeV/u.
Then for 78Kr at Brho = 6.79675 Tm of isoc 72Ge 
E-SIS = 466.63 MeV/u, assume target of 1815 mg/cm² Be
after target E/m = 393.024 MeV/u
In ESR-Modi set for same E/m but different m/q (m=72, Z=q=32)

Injection looks good like before with isochronous 78Kr we go directly to the next step
72Ge with E-SIS = 440.16 MeV/u to get 72Ge at gamma_t.
  115   Sun May 9 22:31:23 2021 Helmut, Wolfram, YuriAcceleratorchange to 72Ge
we change back to 72Ge
just change SIS-energy       E = 441.0 MeV/u
beamline energy after target E = 392.9 MeV/u
set ESR to A=72, Z=32 (72Ge)
--> good injection and resolution in ESR, at old frequencies
  86   Sun May 9 01:49:25 2021 Helmut, Sergey, YuriAcceleratorchange to 52Mn
It was done in steps:
isochronous 52Mn should come at Brho = 6.28239 Tm (gamma_t = 1.3955).
set ESR to m/q and E for 52Mn, 368.41 MeV/u

1.) predrilling 1st try
- set beamline to E, q for 52Mn and m = 51.9319 u by trim
- E-SIS = 422.1 MeV/u
but then not centred on profile grids, with thick Be target in 
-15mm on TE4DGC also not on Lecuhttarget, not good


2.) pre-predrilling 2nd try
don't set beamline for 52Mn but define it as 78Kr, in trim mass back to 77.92 u.
insert Cu-40 mg/cm² and inject, just use dE = 1.5 MeV/u in stripper for SIS-energy (343.353 + 1.5) MeV/u 
optimise a bit, then keep beamline energy set as 78Kr36+ beam the same. 

3.) pre-drilling 422.1 MeV/u in SIS
insert Be target and optimise with kicker and septum angle,
energy also tried but back to old value, reache 6 - 7 % transmission

4.) change E-SIS to 440.7 MeV/u to get 52Mn in ESR at gamma_t
  55   Fri May 7 18:43:13 2021 Kanika, Michael, ShahabRunscave M experiment needs more spills
our pattern causes beam loss while scanning the biological probes in the Cave M bio experiment. They loose every other spill due to high request rate from ESR.

For the next 2 hours, the operators have changed the spill pattern that as long as they are scanning , we get only every 1 minute, otherwise we get our 15 seconds as usual.

after two hours this situation should be tuned back to the original spill pattern.
