General updates

  • Silviu posted a simulation of glass cell window response to raster breathing rate [1]
  • JP posted the procedure for moving from transverse to longitudinal polarization [2]

Thursday swing – Friday owl

  • 4:30PM: Cryo problems resolved
  • 6PM – 8PM: Beam restoration and steering
  • 8PM – midnight: Took about 4 hours of good transverse data
  • Midnight: Arc dipole trips again.
    • Resolved at 8AM Friday
    • PD says this was a loose wire, which has been taken care of [3]

Thursday day

  • Several SHMS dipole trips during Day Shift
    • Steve Lassiter said PSU hasn't failed "enough" to really diagnose what's wrong
    • So for now all we can do is follow procedure [4] [5] and hope for the best
  • MCC had some trouble getting width even below 500 um during Friday Day shift, but we ended up at 469um
  • MCC seems to have some trouble delivering 30uA to us at the same time as Hall A's 150 uA
  • Injector work in the morning
  • 1PM Start beam checkout
  • 3PM Taking transverse polarization data

Recent polarization measurements

 Trans  51%  2PM Thu [6]
 Trans  61%  7PM Thu [7]
 Trans  63% 12AM Fri [8]
 Trans  66%  6AM Fri [9]
 Long   63% 10AM Fri [10]
 Long   57%  2PM Fri [11]

Beam checkout

  • I wrote a script for projecting beam width to target [12]
    • The distances Simona used in her post [13] are apparently off
    • Thanks to Dave Gaskell for updated distances [14]
  • I'm updating the short checkout procedure wiki
    1. Harp scan with tune beam and no target
      • My script is helpful here
    2. YAG screenshot with and without raster, tune(?) beam, no target
      • Verify raster off spot looks round (not like a comet, no weird tails)
      • Verify raster on beam looks like a circle
      • This will interrupt the other halls' beam
    3. Check beam positions with 30 uA CW beam, no target
    4. Mask FSD, move target, start taking data

Current Run Plan

  • Always take 120Hz of EDTM

Thursday swing – Tuesday day

!!                                                     !!
!!  All NMR measurement HCLOG entries should include:  !!
!!     1) A title that clearly lists polarization      !!
!!     2) Screenshots of both NMR_FieldSweep and       !!
!!        the polarization fit.                        !!
!!                                                     !!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Polarized 3He target
    • We're taking transverse data now
    • And over the weekend?

Moller & spin dance

  • Reminder: we only have one measurement so far from Saturday 1/18
  • Tentatively Monday morning, pending Hall A
  • Hall B strongly encourages us to push it back to the 30th (because it won't matter to them at that point and they currently have priority)

Future

  • Open enclosure early next week, maybe Tuesday 1/28
    • Check longitudinal laser setup
    • Install the rotation stages?
    • Install EPR fiber bundle?
    • Check to see if there's any scheduled downtime that we can use for this
  • Arun tentatively getting replacement cell prepared early next week; install it in two(?) weeks?

Special Requests

  • Keep target expert schedule filled out on whiteboard

Notices in Effect for Shift Crew

  • Policy for CANS-related hall status change: Make a logbook entry when the hall goes in, or comes out of laser-controlled access.
  • Magnet policies
    • HMS Q1 must be ramped down in 50A steps in all cases
    • Do not ramp HMS Q2 to zero, only go to 10A and then switch off power.
  • Inform the RC of any access that the Target Team requires. The RC will coordinate with RadCon to make everything run smoothly.
  • The operators have been somewhat careful with our beam orbit locks. Please make sure that the orbit locks are enabled and the beam does not drift from its nominal position.
  • Ramp rate lock instructions are here and added to checklist[15]
  • Temporary Laser instructions can be found here [16]


Planned Accelerator Configuration Changes
