Found software problem that was causing faulty Gradient calculations.
verifying gradients for 4 cavities.
Cavity 2 reached 24 MV/m but the usable gradient is set to 18 MV/m due to warm window heating heavy FE starting at ~16 MV/m
Cavity 1 reached 24 MV/m with one hour run completed at 24 MV/m mild FE starting at ~ 18 MV/m
Cavity 3 reached 20.7 MV/m (quench limited) with heavy FE starting at ~9.8 MV/m

MeV-Mott is working again

21 hours ago
Log Number: 4490328Logbook(s): Entry Makers: gramessuleimanbrukerBody: 

The MeV-Mott is working again.

Tonight we investigated why the Mott "delta-down" counter indicated low rate, where the "delta" part helps us distinguish e- from the photon background. We began by intercepting the raw delta signals from each of the four detectors to a scope, and traces appeared normal. Next, we moved to the end of the hardwired processing just prior to the FADC board, and again traces appeared normal. After convincing ourselves this was reproducible, we ran the DAQ locally and interesting the ~bad "delta-down" was fine and the "delta-up" detector showed a problem.

Partial Degrader Setup

22 hours 49 minutes ago
Log Number: 4490305Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

Attempted to set up for BSList 119067 and found that IBC0L02 doesn't respond as expected at the specified gain settings. As pictured in Fig. 4 we ran 10+ uA to FC2 and did not get a substantial enough change in the counts to use it as a current limiting device. SMEs decided to punt on this preliminary study until they could take a closer look at this BCM. Handing off to the Mott study now.

Simulations of keV injector optics for strong focusing into HWien

23 hours 20 minutes ago
Log Number: 4490302Logbook(s): Entry Makers: brukerBody: 

I've been thinking about what might need to happen to accommodate the divergent beam from the HWien if we used the spin flipper to make a beam size minimum in the HWien.

I don't have a good intuition for the problem because the beam line schematic is not to scale, so it's GPT time.
It turns out I was totally wrong about how the beam needs to go through A3 and A4 (when I logged #4473696 on Mar 1). What actually has to happen for the injector to work as built, regardless of beam envelope in the Wien filters, is to produce a beam size maximum halfway between A3 and A4, at MFX0I07.
