So far, we keep the setting as it is and wait for experts to come in. 
Few spills are missing from time to time. One of the peaks stays usually in the spectrum when this happens. 
Analysis of the last hours is being performed by the remote shift, in case it is useful. Some plots in telegram. 
Entry  Mon May 10 00:51:38 2021, Kanika, Alex, RuiJiu, General, No beam in SIS 
The beam was lost in SIS about 5 mins ago due to the failure of HF cavities. Operators are trying to solve the problem.
Entry  Mon May 10 01:01:59 2021, Kanika, Alex, RuiJiu, General, Beam is back 
The issue has been resolved and the beam is back since 00:56.

How things look currently in Zoom-world.
Entry  Mon May 10 08:49:01 2021, Kanika, Alex, RuiJiu, General, End of the measurement 
The beam was stopped at about 08:40.
Entry  Wed Jun 30 14:48:54 2021, Oliver, General, Data 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...
Entry  Wed Jun 30 14:52:28 2021, Oliver, General, Re-Started data taking... 
Main user is finished. We started data taking again...
Entry  Wed Jun 30 20:14:44 2021, Ragan, Helena, General, Drop in SIS intensity 
There is a drop in SIS intensity and the operators are informed.
    Reply  Wed Jun 30 20:21:47 2021, Ragan, Helena, General, SIS intensity is back 
SIS intensity is back
Entry  Wed Jun 30 20:58:06 2021, Ragan, Helena, General, Few minutes of disruption 
There was a disruption from the SIS side for a few minutes.
Entry  Thu Jul 1 00:09:28 2021, David, Liliana, General, Low beam intensity for few minutes 
For few minutes (starting at 00:05) beam intensity went down. Same as it was reported by the previous shift. 
Until 00:27 beam had lower intensity than before (3e8) 
Now intensity is back to 5e8.
Entry  Thu Jul 1 01:35:15 2021, David, Liliana, General, Ion source change 
Changing ion source, no beam expected for the next 30 minutes.

2:15--> Beam is back, intensity not as high as before but will increase in the next few minutes as the source gets hotter.
Entry  Thu Jul 1 04:15:54 2021, David, Liliana, General, Beam intensity 
From 4:05 to 4:15 beam intensity was 1/2 as before.

Entry  Thu Jul 1 23:46:17 2021, Iris, General, Less beam after gas bottle change? Comparison-21h-2340h.png
Looks like there is a bit less beam now in the ring. I just looked at one spectra from before the gas bottle change and after...

No, everything okay! Must have had a very good earlier run to compare.

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
Entry  Sat Jul 3 08:12:22 2021, Dima, Yuri, General, Beam stop 
We stopped the beam at 08:10

Entry  Thu May 6 13:26:56 2021, Helmut Weick, Detectors, TE5 profile grids do not work no_trigger.png
There are several issues.

1. The stepper motor drive does not react from Device-Control, -> check controller in FRS Messhütte
2. They don't get a trigger, other grids in TE-line do -> check raw signals also in FRS Messhütte, ask Strahldiagnose
3. For less noise pockets of grids should be evacuated, but most likely the pump is still off or not even connected -> enter ESR and connect

Check also manual at https://web-docs.gsi.de/~weick/frs/current_grids.html
Below picture of no trigger shown in App. Usually it should say last trigger a few seconds ago and display some noise.
