Halls IA Systems - wave plates
Checked the wave plates of the four halls Intensity Attenuator (IA) systems looking for any labels on the plates.
Halls A, B, and C: have 1/2 wave plates. Hall B plate is labeled as such and Halls A and C have similar setup. These three systems have been on the laser table since early 2000s.
Hall D: has 1/10 wave plate. Hall D system was installed in Nov 2023 - see linked entry.

COMMENT ON Site Asphalt Paving
Milling operation completed inside accelerator site Tue 21 October and working other campus locations.
Asphalt paving crews will finish Wed 22 - Thu 23 October inside accelerator site and targeting campus wide project completion Fri 24 - Mon 27 October.
Note that on the backside of Hall C gravel road will receive millings placement to improve access and suggest to avoid until JLAB spreads material - target 1-2 weeks.
Striping plan in que awaiting funding allocation.
Thanks for everyone's patience!

COMMENT ON return pol source ion pumps to ISB controllers
the gamma SPC controller for VIP2I00 was showing a noisy signal for voltages over 3 kV, when we had run at 3.5 kV for some time before.
Switched in the controller that had been used for VIP1I03 instead. Need to determine if the noisy signal is due to an incorrect controller setting (pressure output instead of current), or if this controller is not working well on this pump. I'll follow up after the surprise holiday tomorrow

COMMENT ON Upgrade 2L03 to a C75 zone.
Probe cables, arc det, /IR and stepper cables have all been adjusted for length topside into equipment racks and penetrations resealed with foam for ODH-0 . Larry working on LO cable measurements and termination and then we can start the chassis installations and connections on Thursday. 2.5w amp in FAB shop for power connection replacement repair. Techs: Chris K., Larry F., Alex S., and Adam S. and Max
COMMENT ON Improve signal integrity of TMG photodiode scope
We conducted a series of tests with improved termination at the scope input as well as amplification of the photodiode signal downstairs:

The unphysical DC offset appears to be common-mode and exists before the amplifier, so neither the voltage gain nor the improved impedances is providing much SNR benefit right now. The bad S11 at RF due to impedance mismatch may be a red herring.
COMMENT ON SAM 2025 Box Supply Work
Kevin and I still working at the South Access Building. I finished ARC 7 and working at ARC 3, will continue Thursday. Found that there are BNC's that the white part inside of them are brittle and some had broken. Also, on some BPS there are fans on the top where the 480V input goes in, the filters of those fans need to be replaced.
COMMENT ON Diagnose ion pump blips in chopper region
Ran tests of current vs. voltage and hipotted VIP0I04A (choper 2) today.
