Owl Shift
Summary
January
10th
SL: Jean-sebastien
Real
Target: Mathew Muether
Guest: Herbert
Breuer
Highlights
- We begin the shift with Beam, and current beam scan going on.
- No
usable beam during few hours due to loss in the accelerator. We did the
5 uA study during this problem. we loose about 4 h of production.
- IHWP was out.
- loose roc31 (g0inj) so switch on g0full
configuration
Time-line
- 00h15 : MCC called, they had a strange beam trip while trying to go
to 30 uA.
- 00h20 : MCC cannot deliver the request beam current,
they have some loss.
- 01h00 : we were trying to get some data a 5 uA but beam was not
stable at all and no useable data were taken.
- 01h00 : 47uA, bad
halo. We are waiting a call from MCC when they think beam is stable.
- 02h00 : MCC is still working on the problem. We ask 5 uA (beam is
stable at this current) to perform cerenkov multiplicity check
- 02h43 : Loss in the accelerator are may be solved. we are done
with the 5 uA study and wait for higher curent (45uA) to continue.
- 03h00 : MCC shutdown the fast-feeback to improve loss (see this)
- 04h00 : ask for 35uA, herbert measured the anode current of cer PMTs,
I checked the MaJ threshold for octant 2 (see this)
- 04h50 : put coil modulation ON, MCC has been inform. Try to start
run 33177, roc31 crached. unabled to get it back. We switch to g0full
- 05h15: herbert drecrease the HV for octant 5 by 50V to setup the
anode current to an acceptable level, and bring octant 5 to around the
same rate than the ohers octants
- 05h16: start run 33178
- 06h40: run 33178 does not want to end. I kill coda again and
relaunch.
- 07h30: Problem with CODA, run does not end correctly. I tried to
reboot the TS but a error occur at boot. called fatiha.
- 07h50: MCC called they have a cryo problem in south linac. No beam
for a while
List of Runs
- 33163: Production Run 45 uA. (part of beam current scan, beam
unstable).
- 33164: 5 uA run. cerenkov trigger = mult 2 normal
one).
- 33165: 5 uA run. cerenkov trigger = mult 3. beam not at 5
uA during all time and not stable. Not usable run
- 33166: 5 uA run. cerenkov trigger = mult 3. Part of the run was at 20
uA.
- 33167: junk
- 33168: junk no events
- 33169: 5 uA run. Cerenkov trigger = mult 3.
- 33170: 5 uA run. Cerenkov trigger = mult 4.
- 33171: 5 uA run. Cerenkov trigger = mult 2.
- 33172: 45 uA run. Halo is very high. from 2000 it decrease to
260
- 33173: 45 uA run. Halo is high. about 260
- 33174: 35 uA run. Halo about 70.
- 33175: 20 uA run.
- 33176: 10 uA run.
- 33177: no run roc31 crashed.
- 33178: 35uA production run, after small HV change on cer octant 5
- 33179: Junk, coda crashed.
- 33180: 35uA production run.
