Gun vacuum response to the gun HV tripping off

1 day 4 hours ago
Log Number: 4474704Logbook(s): Entry Makers: chgarciaBody: 

Notice how the gun vacuum was recovering after the HV trip off, then at 16:29:03 the gin IP current increases, instead of continuing to drop. Then it stabilizes and decrease again very, very slowly (Fig. 2. ).
Fig. 3. shows the voltage at that time was 5 kV.

No evidence of HVPS curren precursor, Fig. 4. Gun was delivering 60 uA for beam ops before the HV tripped off.

There is no indication of precursor field emission from the anode current either, Fig. 5. Nor from DecaRads (Fig. 6). The signal shown by DecaRads is from beam.

FE Onset Measurements for 1L24-6:8

1 day 7 hours ago
Log Number: 4474689Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Background for the Return Beamline head is > 10 mRad/hr. This is with RF Off in zones 1L12->1L26.

Cav 6: Pushed until another DecaRad head was ~10k. Return beamline gets very high very quickly. Started FE Onset at 19.2 MV/m.

Cav 7: Similar to Cav 6. Pushed until a second DecaRad head was ~10k. Started FE Onset at 16.8 MV/m. Did a second measurement with the GLOS Step Size reduced to 0.02.

Cav 8: Similiar to the other two cavities. Pushed until another DecaRad head was ~10k. Started FE Onset at 15.2 MV/m.

FE Onset Measurements for 1L26

1 day 8 hours ago
Log Number: 4474688Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Cav 1: KRRP limited at about 15.5 MV/m. Pretty unsteady decarad readings. Perhaps a contender for pulse processing.
Cav 2: Quench limited at 10.5 MV/m. Masked quench and tried to push higher, still limited to 10.5 MV/m.
Cav 3: Quenching above 8.8 MV/m.
Cav 4: Quenching at 21.5 MV/m with or without mask enabled.
Cav 5: Quench limited at 20.5 MV/m with or without mask enabled. Started measurements at 20.3 MV/m.
Cav 6: Quench limited at about 16.8 MV/m with or without mask enabled. started measurements a tad bit lower.
Cav 7: Quench limited at 19.2 MV/m with or without mask enabled.

1L26-1 ITOT connectivity alarm

1 day 10 hours ago
Log Number: 4474685Logbook(s): Entry Makers: jhowardBody: 

We seem to have lost connection to 1L26-1 FCC. At the FCC the heartbeat looks fine, so it may be a software thing. iocin2 also looks fine, which we are directed to look at. Combo screen looks fine, but expert screen is showing something is not communicating. Not sure if this is a Software or RF fix.

OPs-PRing for now, and we will leave the cavity off when we recover the zone from FE measurements

1L21 not going into HV

1 day 13 hours ago
Log Number: 4474682Logbook(s): Entry Makers: jhowardBody: 

It is not throwing up any faults that would prevent it from going into HV, but we have not had a chance to look in the service building. We will update when we do.
