Crew Chief Shift Log, 2026-03-28 DAY
Start of shift: Hall C Beam centering in progress
1A Halfway through Day shift vs End of Day Shift
I didn't catch the 2A during my mid shift picture. See the linked ELog for a snapshot of the 2A at noon-ish.
Beam was pretty stable for most of the day. However, we noticed a dramatic NL slip around 1340 which correlates to a drop in current from Hall C.
I was curious to see if turning off the Orbit Locks and energy locks could be a part of the problem but the phase continued to slip after I paused them so I turned them back on.
Crew Chief Timesheet Summary: 28 Mar 2026 DAY
MBT1S08V Mismatch
NL Gang Phase smartRAT
Noticed a NL Phase Slip
Figure 1 shows 1A SLM before attempting any correction. It should be noted that the SLM filter is set to tune beam as we are only sending 0.5 uA to Hall C
Figure 2 shows the RF health check taken before adjusting the gangphase. 1L07 local oscilator power could be suspect.
Figure 3 shows the gangphase change. Almost 3 degrees. SL Gangphase looked fine after the change.
Figure 4 shows 1A SLM after currection
