4R steering to minimize 5S IDX.

8 hours 12 minutes ago
Log Number: 4478906Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

In our attempts to minimize IDX rates, we had a small amount of success in reducing the 5S01 signal by adjusting the vertical launch into 5L. Unsurprisingly, given the low energy, the beam is very sensitive to magnet changes, and responsive to gang phase. We can minimize the rates with only gang phase, but that smears the beam across the 1A SLM to the point that it's almost invisible. Not ideal. Efforts continue.

Addressing IIX6S01 activity

8 hours 55 minutes ago
Log Number: 4478905Logbook(s): Entry Makers: lrichardBody: 

After inserting dumplets from downstream to upstream, we learned the IIX6S01 activity is actually coming from the 4S region.

Fig. 1, 2 shows elevated IDX6S01 activity.
Fig. 3 shows through steering a reduction of IDX6S01 activity.
Fig. 4 shows 4L-4E orbit after IDX6S01 reduction.

Attempting to correct orbit while maintaining low rates.

After adjusting gangphase, and adding an energy offset, IDX6S01 was greatly reduced with a decent orbit. Figs 5-7.

PD: status update

Log Number: 4478895Logbook(s): Entry Makers: roblinBody: 

We reached the end of the road. Beam is at AR, the envelope is reasonably well matched. The crew is now optimizing orbits in order to zero out any perceived beam loss with the IDX detectors.

After this, we will start running test plans directly pertinent to the upcoming run first, then some needed for the near future.
