COMMENT ON RF HCO & Gradient Ramp 2026
1L10 Ramped up by Ops
Cav 1 at ODVH, no issues.
Cav 2 started showing significant spikes in WG Vac once I got beyond about 13 MV/m. It would recover, but took time. Letting it sit at 14.3 MV/m now. ODVH is 15.2.
Cav 3 at ODVH. Tripped on KRRP High when making the final 0.3 MV/m push to the ODVH. Recovered it and ramped back up to ODVH with no issue.
Cav 4 at 15 MV/m, ODVH is 16 MV/m. Getting arc faults at >15 MV/m.
Cav 5 at ODVH, no issues.
Cav 6, similiar to Cav 2. Letting it sit at 16.6 MV/m. ODVH is 17.0 MV/m.
Cav 7 at ODVH, no issues..
COMMENT ON 1L06 Heat load / Qo assessment

1L06 Heat load / Qo assessment
ATLis https://tasklists.jlab.org/atlis/tasks/119484
Investigating the high heat load in 1L06
Finishing the measurement started on Feb 19th 2026 (see linked ELog)
1Initial JT parameters:
Sample Time = 120
Max Position = 85
Initial Heater parameters:
Requested Heat Watts = 165
LEM Requested RF Heat = 100
STEPS:
1. Reduce ST (JT sample time) to 30s
2. Raise Max Pos to 90%
3. Raise heater 'REQ HEAT WATTS' to 80W
4.
1L07-5 KCCU drooping
Cavit ywas SEL Quenching when transitioning to SELA. Saw it was only reaching about 10.8 MV/m out of the 12 MV/m GSET, so I increased KPOWLim a bit and was able to recover the cavity.
It dropped to SEL again a couple of hours later and started SEL Quenching again when transitioning to SELA. Decided to look into it a bit further...
KCCU has been unstable recently. It was pretty steady up until about 19:30 last night. It started drooping and cavity dropped to SEL. Filament voltage looks steady.
