  154   Wed Jun 30 14:48:54 2021 OliverGeneralData taking - and not...
We just started data taking. But a few minutes later the main experiment needed to do some adjustements to the beam. This interrupts us for a couple of minutes...
  153   Wed Jun 30 13:57:14 2021 Yuri, SergeyAcceleratorsextupoles + scraper positions
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.

  140   Tue Jun 29 21:10:30 2021 ShahabRuns72-Ge setting
the new setting is roughly 400 khz lower in frequency.
Previous beam time Ge was on 243.100 now it is on 242.74

we decided to use the higher harmonic:

  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.
  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).
