Noisy KFVM for 2L03-8

2 days 19 hours ago
Log Number: 4478969Logbook(s): Entry Makers: victorcBody: 

Second time cavity 8 dropped zone HV in 2L03 the past two days due to a high mod anode current fault. Took a look at some signals and filament voltage for this cavity seems rather noisy and is probably worth taking a look at.

iocsoftslminj lost comms

Log Number: 4478966Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Tried to reboot via softioc console, but appears not to have worked. Based on the terminal output it looked like the reboot was successful.

Seems it's stuck in a reboot loop. I turned off auto restart with ctrl-T and rebooted to observe the output. I noticed during the iocInit phase, the process is always killed by signal 11, Figure 3, and then it tries to reboot again if auto-restart is on.

Going to disable the node for now. We're not using the injector SLM.

Tweaked 9R06 VBeta quad to improve AE01 swipe

3 days ago
Log Number: 4478962Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Ballpark match was done yesterday for diffx/y out of 9R. It vastly improved the spots at AS02 and AE01, and they were able to do a betatron match.

After the machine resteer today to reduce IIX rates, the AE01 swipe looked little worse for wear, 0.22mm in x and 2.0mm in y. I saw the 9R06 VBeta quad was taken 96% off design during the ballpark match, Fig 1, walked it toward design while looking at AS02 viewer then took another harp swipe. It's now 52% off design, Fig 2.

Relevant harp swipes and viewer walks are linked. Judging by the FOpt, vertical dispersion out of 9R may need to be revisited.
