Low Laser Doubling Efficiencies

See linked entry.

Due to the lack of detailed information, it is very difficult to assess whether there is an actual problem or to make any meaningful plans. Under typical operating conditions - 250 MHz repetition rate with 35 ps FWHM laser pulses - frequency-doubling efficiencies larger than 50% are routinely achieved. The present performance therefore suggests that the laser amplifiers are being overworked.

Not long ago, we continued operating the Hall A laser amplifier until it completely failed; that failure most likely caused the Hall B halo-related downtime in May.

Good collinearity to FC1!

Log Number: 4465610Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

After multiple iterations between slight adjustments to chopping and dechopping amplitudes, the collinearity seems within tolerance! Figs 1 through 4 are rels compared to A, B, C, and D, respectively. Figs 5 through 7 are a viewer walk with all beams!

First attempt at dechopping

Going to start iterating from here, but fig 1 you can see all lasers in the isosceles triangle configuration. To converge at 0I05, I had to iterate between increasing the CH2Y amplitude and readjusting its phase to get ACD in the same Y plane. The rels are set for A reference. Fig 4 is A beam, Fig 5 is B, and fig 3 is C. D wasn't making it to 1D, so back to viewers to see whats what.

COMMENT ON B49, B63, B39 Meter Installation

11 hours 51 minutes ago
Log Number: 4465602Logbook(s): Body: 

There is an issue with the branch breaker feeding B63. In order to repair this, the 49-MDP must be shut off again. This outage should only take ~20-30 minutes. This will remove power from B49, B39, B63, and B23. The plan is to perform this outage at 10AM on Monday 1/12.

Phasing Chopper 1

12 hours 27 minutes ago
Log Number: 4465586Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

Utilizing adviewer, putting the three peaks (4 lasers A and C on top of each other) with only ch 1X on at equidistant values with ~128 pixels full width. then similarly for CH1Y, and finally adjusting to form the 45 degree line then adding 90 degrees. the resulting set up is shown. The laser phases were adjusted to match zero crossing on the prebuncher by phasing at the 1D00 viewer before these steps were done.

Follow-up Re: SL6 Liquid Level Card Issue and 2L02 U-Tubes Complete

12 hours 30 minutes ago
Log Number: 4465584Logbook(s): Entry Makers: nortonBody: 

2L02-2L05 Liquid level indications all went to 100 at 0833.

The timing of the level issue coincided with cable connections being made on 2L03 (Level/Temperature/Pressure).

After considerable troubleshooting of the CAMAC system (Power Supply, 3 LL Cards, Crate Controller, Dataway), the level connections for 2L02 and 2L03 were disconnected and the levels for 2L04 and 2L05 were restored to functionality with the 4th level card.

We are investigating the connections on the level card.

2L03 Heater, Interlock, Stepper and Probe cables connected

12 hours 51 minutes ago
Log Number: 4465567Logbook(s): Entry Makers: plawskigeesaman@jlab.orgBody: 

Worked with M. Geesaman and T. Plawski to install heater cables, interlock (ARC, and window temperature sensor), and stepper cables. We also connected the probe cables but this is mostly to keep them from getting in the way.

We tested all low level interlocks (ARC detectors, IR cold window sensors) and we ran the stepper motors and both directions and ensured that there are no limit switch faults. Everything is working as expected and we see no issues at this time.

We will re-test all of these when we perform LLRF commissioning to ensure that any fault will trip RF.

MWF1I06 Blip again

After staring to set up injector the beam randomly moved off the viewer. Checked MWF1I06 and there appeared to be an 80 mA blip. DC Power is aware.
