Kicker Verification Summary – 1/29/2026
The Kicker Verification tests conducted today confirmed proper Kicker functionality.
Previous inconsistencies in interception current measurements were traced to inherent noise in the Tune Beam measuring equipment. To mitigate this, a 30-second averaging function was applied during testing, which resolved the issues observed yesterday. Additionally, the Tune Beam current was increased to approximately 15 µA.

COMMENT ON VME/CAMAC Preventative maintenance (SAM 2025-2026)
coordinated with RF, cryo, and I&C VAC to safely swap the fan tray for IOCNL2. We restored the IOC and the MOPS and cryo said everything recovered correctly after the job finished around 10:30ish. Swapped filters in ARC buildings leaving only the halls left for voltage measurement and filter replacement. Thank you Robert (cryo), Evonda (RF), and Leo/Matt A(I&C VAC) for the assistance.
COMMENT ON NDX electrometer swaps and troubleshooting
swapped 0L04 after finding inx1S01 to be in spec and inx1s02 doesn't actually exist. repurposed the electrometer slated for 1s01/1s02 for 0L04/0L05 and swapped it after lunch. Reset settings and ramped EXT bias. going to let it run over night and check in the morning.
COMMENT ON RF HCO & Gradient Ramp 2026
update to no touch c100 list
1L07-4 has some issues. but the other cavities are good to turn on (checked in to SELAP)
1L22- cavity 5&7 (bay 3) has no HV other cavities are good to turn on (checked in to SELAP)
1L23- every cavity not bypassed are good to turn on (checked in to SELAP)

COMPLETED 2026 Calibration of the H2 Sensor for Buildings 91 and 95
The task was performed by James Donaldson, Scott Windam, Bob May and myself, along with assistance from RadCon's Stephen Kennell and Zach Giunti. This also was cross training to hand off these calibrations to AESIC. All went well and as planned. The H2 Sensors in Buildings 91 & 95 are within spec.
