Last three pictures where taken after 
first laser ion beam overlap adjustments

It seems to be that the interactions are 
better. We also see the laser earlier and 
stronger in the schottky

H=2
H=7
H=10
H=20
H=30

We performed several scans:
Close to the bucket middle
Over the bucket
Over the bucket, jumped to the "red side" 
of the bucket and captured and cooled the 
beam again.

Laser settings:
7 times revolution frequency and 740ps 
pulses - - > 3.4 +/- 1.2 GHz

Still to do:
Switch to 240ps pulses - - > 5.8GHz 
+/-1.3 GHz

Maybe:
Switch to 117ps pulses - - > 11.0 +/- 0.8 GHz
BUT here we have less laser power (max. 50 mW right after BBO crystal, so maybe only 30 mW at the laser-ion overlap)
available. Maybe we are lucky and it is 
enough to cool also the ion beam. :) 
  66   Sat May 15 09:57:24 2021 DayshiftRunsCurrently on schedule
Enhance fluorescence rate and perform 
laser bunch timing 

Right now: Performing several detector tests with scanning laser (triangle) between 1028.930 and 1028.950 nm. Eccoler current @ 10 mA
