Integrated loss troubleshooting, success!

Log Number: 4506243Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

I got passed down that we couldn't push hall C passed 50 uA because of integrated loss trips. I first adjusted bunching as I suspected given the loss signals that we weren't optimized for higher current. Bringing the prebuncher from 3.95 to 4.05 minimized the MS interception, and subsequent Buncher adjustment from 4 to 4.4 removed most loss on IDXs and in the main machine )fig 1). We still couldn't ramp them up so I checked when integrated loss looked good, and it seems that at 19:50 when the A1 locks were briefly turned on, they were turned off in an inopportune spot (fig 2).

Orbit Checks, Path Length, AE02 positions... BEFORE --> AFTER

1 day 16 hours ago
Log Number: 4506184Logbook(s): Entry Makers: dchriBody: 

Checked AE02 positions with xB & xD. xB was at a good -11.5 & xD was at ~4.2. Changed the ArcA target lock position at AE02 from 4.25 to 4.7. After applying Path Length adjustments and running some locks, everything seems to be in a better place overall. xB & xD at -11.5 & 4.7 respectfully

UPDATE: Hall D current stability

1 day 18 hours ago
Log Number: 4506167Logbook(s): Entry Makers: dchriBody: 

Overall, xD stability has 'improved'

Fig.1
xD current start of shift,
Sigma: 13.94
Mean: 30

Fig.2
xD current mid-shift,
Sigma: 13.08
Mean: 31

Fig.3
Ops PID lock in the injector has it's pros and cons...
PROs: various INX(gamma rates) seem to drop down and Hall B Halo trips become less frequent
CONs: more interception on Injector aperture(s) and Hall D current is a bit more unstable

... however, other tweaks being performed around this time make it tricky to 100% deduce what's causing what
