1L23 further derated to reduce field emission

Log Number: 4408158Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

It was noted that the 1L23 NDX neutron rates jumped this morning, right around the time 1L23-8 quenched multiple times and had to be derated. Gradually adjusted the GSET, and sure enough the cavity had popped a field emitter. Derated it a further 1.3 MV/m to reduce neutron rates 2.8 rem/hr. Not quite back at previous levels, but at the 1 MV/m : 1 rem/hr limit.

1L13 external transformer noticably hot

Noticed the external transformer for 1L13 in the NLSB is radiating a significant amount of heat. Could likely use more airflow. There's a fan nearby it not currently turned on, but I didn't want to risk poking the bear on a Sunday afternoon when it could wait until Monday.

2L24-1 Still unstable

2 days 11 hours ago
Log Number: 4408045Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

2L24-1 remains an under the radar problem child, experiencing gradient instability for a few minutes once or twice a day that's enough to be picked up by the 2A SLM centroid (figure 2), but not quite enough to trip beam. There's already an Ops-PR in from the beginning of the month, just logging to keep it on the radar.
