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

Log Number: 4472179Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

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.

1L18-6 Poor Regulation

1 day 19 hours ago
Log Number: 4472172Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Performed OLT, found max GMES of ~3.2 MV/m with 0.4 kW CRFP.

GMES stable with loops open. Cavity tripped immediately upon leaving expert mode. Reset and turned it back on and GMES/GASK and PMES/PASK became highly unstable.

Injector Work Summary

Log Number: 4472171Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

Jerone tried a few combinations of allsaves as well as tweaking all manner of phases and eventually settled on the tack that I have been taking tonight: use the allsave he took when he optimized phases to the 1D, download design, and set up from scratch.

The 0L03 match has been challenging every time we try to take data for it as the K1 range only goes so far before the wire scans exhibit a very substantial shoulder.

First 0L03 Match Data Garbage

1 day 21 hours ago
Log Number: 4472164Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

I am attempting to get good data for a match. Beam with optics on design at ITV0L04 is shown in Fig. 2. With the MQJ0L03 quad set to zero as it is when zigzag is collecting IHA0L03 data, the beam is as shown in Fig. 3. With everything on design ITV0L03 is way off (Fig. 4) the 0.533 x 1.92 mm sigmas specified in CED. Tweaking the first two matching quads, MQJ0L02 and MQJ0L02A, produced a beam spot (Fig. 5) that fits the CED aspect ratio and produced a... different looking spot on 0L04. This doesn't look matchable. I'm going to revisit the booster setup.

Booster Setup

Log Number: 4472160Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

Fig. 1 & 2 - Viewers before booster ballpark phasing. I know the relative phases should be pretty close so I should be able to get the gangphase close before going to the spectrometer by making the beam spots look (more) reasonable on d/s viewers.
Fig. 3 & 4 - Viewers after booster ballpark phasing. Onward to the 2D!
Fig. 5 - Flattened orbit in preparation to go to 2D.
Fig. 6 - Beam as found
Fig. 7 - Took out 26 degree 7-cell offset
