  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.

Hi, attached is the sum of all spectra from 1-2am on May 10th, on the 245 MHz detector. Takes me forever to download everything...
I used the same parameters as Guy and Xiancheng: LFRAMES = 512 (in analyzer); -t 0.011 (= 11 ms) -s 5 ... 5.175 s.

Resolution looks good... :-)

  108   Sun May 9 17:39:21 2021 GuyAnalysisComparison between 72Ge: 7th 19h vs 8th 21h
Following Xiangcheng Chen's analysis, I analysed 11 ms time slices separated by 25 ms to see the evolution of the potential isomer across the injection.

Attachment 1: Data from May 7th 19h-20h. -t 11ms progression from -s=5 to -s=5.175
Attachment 2: Data from May 8th 21h-22h. -t 11ms progression from -s=5 to -s=5.175

The extra resolution gained on the 8th (and potentially other settings too) make the isomer visible where it wasn't present on the 7th.

  112   Sun May 9 20:34:47 2021 Rui-Jiu ChenAnalysisComparison of frequency spectrum between 72Ge and other isotope
This some preliminary analysis results by using  NTCAP data.   The IQ rate of NTCAP is 20 MSamples/seconds. I analyzed data files recorded from May 7 
17:39 to May 8 2:20.  The frequency of 72Ge is bended by 4kHz at the beginning of some injections.  In order to check whether this frequency bending is 
due to isomer or unstable magnetic field. I compare the 72Ge with other isotopes. The similar bending was observed for other isotope in each 
corresponding injections. It seems that bend is due to unstable magnetic field.

This is a comparison of I_Raw/Q_Raw between different reference level. The range of NTCAP ADC is only 2^15 bit. So signals (I_Raw and Q_Raw) should 
not be outside ADC range. It is clear that there is not point outside the ADC range when using reference level -30dBm.

Setting the 78Kr (after the target) to the Brho of the 72Ge beam at 368.4 MeV/u (gamma=1.3955), i.e. 6.79575 Tm, which leads to an energy of 392.93 (of 78Kr). 
With the 10mm Be target the beam energy should then be 467.8 MeV/u .
Yes, with my slightly different target thickenss 467.5 MeV/u (Helmut).

For 72Ge at this Brho after the target it then needs 440.95 MeV/u.
