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.

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.

From 4:05 to 4:15 beam intensity was 1/2 as before.

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

We stopped the beam at 08:10

this picture is after scraping by helmut, showing the 410 MHz detector, that is we would expect an isomer where the marker M1 is, i.e. at 2.2kHz on the left side, which we unfortunately don’t see (yet).

made sure that the extra 20dB amplifier is off.

Be aware that the timestamp of the files is 1h behind with respect to real time

new sextupole setting, isomer not visible yet.

There is new sextupole settings, but the scrapers remain like last night (Helmut setting last night.)

changed the energy down to 435 MeV/u

changed trigger time back to 50%

last file with 1% trigger: 

245 MHZ 2021.05.07.16.07.03.493
410 MHz 2021.05.07.17.07.21.104


p.s. remember the 245 Analyzer has a 1 hour offset in time stamp because of daylight saving time in win10 setting

We will now go up in energy to 447 MeV (+6 MeV) from the original energy

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.
