Summary of today's Gun HV conditioning under vacuum

5 days 22 hours ago
Log Number: 4550007Logbook(s): Entry Makers: mamunBody: 

Today we did following activities:
- HV vacuum conditioning confirmation
- Removed the HV conditioning resistor tank and connected R30-6 gun sdirectly to the HVPS
- After conditioning resistor tank removal, demonostrated field emission free HV soaking at 210 kV
- Repeated ramp up-soak-ramp down cycle by taking gun to 200 kV with different ramp rates of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 kV/min and demonstrated field emission free operation.

Plan for tomorrow:
- Remove the conditioning puck from the gun and insert a GaAs puck in the Gun
- Soak the gun at 200 kV for ~ a shift.

Gun Ramp Rate Exercise Complete

5 days 22 hours ago
Log Number: 4550006Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

We ramped the voltage from 0 to 200 kV and back several times at increasing ramp rates to ensure the system can handle the nominal settings. There are occasional vacuum blips when the supply hits zero, but everything is otherwise behaving well. That's all for tonight.

Single mode fibers run and patched in for the South Linac segment (iocch2 and iocch2a). Moved the last segment (SL, iocch2 and iocch2a) from old router to new router. We are completely migrated to the new chl router. Going to start removing the old router from the control room rack. Latosky Cumbia

Gun soaked for 2 hrs at 200 and 210 kV for ~2 hours, ramping down for different ramp up rate excercise

6 days 2 hours ago
Log Number: 4550003Logbook(s): Entry Makers: mamunBody: 

Gun soaked for 2 hrs at 200 and 210 kV. Ramping down for different ramp up rate excercise.
Throughout the soak all the DecRAD counts were in background noise level. No vacuum activity observed. HVPS current was stable and in background level. We will excercise different ramp up rate up to 50 kV/min next. Tomorrow, we would like to swap the conditioning puck with a GaAs puck and soak the gun at 200 kV for ~ a shift.

Found no evidence of any bad cable connections or contamination. The leakage current observed before remains unexplained (so far).

1L09- Completed RF calibrations.
The 70 L/s turbo pump on the plasma pump cart stopped working properly, so it was turned off. It will be replaced tomorrow.
The valve on VIP1L10A ion pump is closed. The valve on VIP1L09B ion pump is open and cryomodule is being pumped by a 300 L/s turbo pump and two scroll pumps on the plasma pump cart. The vacuum manifold pressure was 5.5e(-6) Torr and going down.

Power Calculator doesn't like leading decimal points

6 days 5 hours ago
Log Number: 4549995Logbook(s): Entry Makers: mmerzBody: 

The Power Calculator is used to determine the Power, Current, or Energy given the other two (and the Duty Factor). When using it for the Injector, one works in W & keV. I've found that when inputting a leading decimal point, it is ignored, which leads to an erroneous answer. (If one enters a leading 0 first, or adds a leading decimal point after entering a number, it works.)
