CIS on-call 2/25-3/4

Mostly a quiet on-call week. There were a couple reported trips of the gun high voltage, once while on and shift later while ramping the gun to voltage. Carlos doesn't see any pre- or post- cursor sign in vacuum or decarad. Riad moved anode from bias to picoammeter and doesn't see any sign of FE. Marcy had increased the VIP1I03 threshold near the Wien filter to avoid trips with sudden current, however, the Wien's were off or small. Unfortunately, each gun trip results in a small loss ~0.1+% of QE.

Why Circular Polarization Measurements Depend on Scope Input Impedance

Log Number: 4474539Logbook(s): Entry Makers: suleimanBody: 

Why do we measure constant laser circular polarization versus PITA with 1 MOhm when the Mott polarization measurements showed that we loose a significant amount of electron beam polarization?

Matt Poelker thinks that we are saturating the signal on the scope with 1 MOhm input impedance. We are using 3 mW and the powermeter goes directly to the scope. We un-screwed the attenuator from the face of the powermeter.

This would be the right way to do it: Keep the attenuator on the front face. Connect the powermeter to the Newport unit and select a fixed scale of power (not Auto), e.g. 2 mW. Set laser power to half of the fixed scale unit. Then, use the analog voltage output from the back of the Newport unit and connect to scope with 1 MOhm input impedance. We can use the powermeter already available on the laser path and its EPICS controls.

VIP2L03A interlock trip points raised due to slow leak

1 day ago
Log Number: 4474534Logbook(s): Entry Makers: ketchumBody: 

After consulting with with M.Drury from SRF, VIP2L03 slow and fast interlock trip points were preemptively raised by half a decade to get ahead of any issues that may arise during beam operations as a result of the slow leak

New trip levels
-Slow (1hr delay): 5e-7 torr
-Fast (3 sec delay for valves): 5e-6 torr
