Cold Startup Swing Shift Update: Beam Stripe at ITV1S01

12 hours 29 minutes ago
Log Number: 4476191Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

Reached step 12, hand phasing cavities, in the cold startup procedure before VFV1L27 got stuck in Not Ready, preventing the FSD from clearing. Update while I&C troubleshoots: managed to steer to IPM1L28 and get a round spot at ITV1L22. LEM quads had to be scaled down to ~25% to get a circular spot. Before the vacuum issues began, as of this log were attempting hand phasing in the North Linac, but the ITV1S01 spot is a stripe, making identification of "good" phasing a challenge. Adjusting MQB1L28 was ineffective at rounding out the beam satisfactorily. Work continues...

Restored 2L13-1 filaments and recovered all zone to RF. 1L04-6 Un-bypassed and restored RF to 12 Mv/m after correcting RFCM downloads from 01/26. 1L04-7 needs a 2.5W amp after RFCM output checked good. 1L04-8 Need to find cavity resonance after SRF Michael M checked tuner motor movement downstairs. Needs tuner cart without RF on in the zone and we need to check Camac tuner stepper card in the process. 2L10-1 and 7 comm's down but cav 8 is up and in filaments but still bypassed until other comm. problems looked at again (Evonda got cav. 8 into filaments from Fil.
