Some things we should be aware of...

Victor, Amy and Dennis have been struggling to get the beam to behave as expected in the 0L region. So today Victor and I took a little walk to stare at the 0L region and adjacent magnets. We're not really sure if any of this will solve the mystery, but we did find a few things worth following up by Ops and next MD...

1. Victor noticed there is magnetic field from a 5D corrector ~leaking out nearest to the 0L beamline. Looking at the 5D magnets we found that many were on, see Fig. 1. I expected all to have 0 B-dl's.

COMMENT ON RF work for 2026 HCO

2 days 19 hours ago
Log Number: 4473464Logbook(s): Body: 

Lots of troubleshooting drive-line problems and 2.5 W amplifiers in SL14,16,19 and KMAI and Filament problems in several zones both Linacs. Logged all in cavity history but restored them to what they would do so the whole zone could be left in RF.

1L21-7 No CRFP due to 2.5 W amp not Amping

2 days 19 hours ago
Log Number: 4473457Logbook(s): Entry Makers: kernsBody: 

Took RATN to 0.0 db and GLOD had to go to -2.0v before seeing ~330 W CRFP. This is usually a 2.5 W amp that is getting real weak but could also be a loose cable in the drive line. We'll have to investigate to find. got the cavity to Mv/m with that 310 W CRFP but that's all it would do. "Need more power Captain". Also got a lot of vacuum activity in cavities 5 and 6 (they are at 3.0 and 4.5Mv/m) that dropped them while tuning cavity 7.

COMMENT ON SAM 2025 Box Power Supply HCO

2 days 20 hours ago
Log Number: 4473448Logbook(s): Body: 

RSEP8, LAM1C, and LAM3C were ramped up to 345MeV values. Shunts were then set to their 345MeV values and went to setpoint without issue. Diagnostic data has been taken and will be reviewed. At the moment, everything is looking good. Box supplies and shunts will be run over the weekend for more run time. ACR7, YBBS06 shunt issues will be looked into further next week.

COMMENT ON Replace Shunt YBBS06 for ARC7 Box Supply

2 days 20 hours ago
Log Number: 4473444Logbook(s): Body: 

Replacing the shunt for YBBS06 and powering on the ARC7 box supply resulted in the same faults as before tripping the supply on Shunt A chain fault. We will need to look further into this and may require accessing the tunnel to look at the shunt lead connections to the magnet.

2L21-6 KMAI with each HV turn-on

2 days 20 hours ago
Log Number: 4473439Logbook(s): Entry Makers: kernsBody: 

Tube recovery not going to well with all these HV on-off's. KCCU gets worse and KMAS back to 2kV with KMAI faulting and dropping HV every turn on. Tube should be replaced soon but KCCU holding close to 1 A should suffice for the low energy run.
