xB to 400 nA

1 day 3 hours ago
Log Number: 4501271Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

In order to get them there I had to steer out loss on A2 using 0I01BH corrector, which brought us off of the edge of something charging and discharging in the injector (see fig 2). I also had to adjust the laser phase further to get the new optimal phase. Even given this, I didnt want to just raise the attenuator as we seem to be producing ~10 uA to get 300 nA, so I opened the hall B slit from 16.5 to 23.8. This is a very rough fix until the Inj SME can take a look at the set up tomorrow.

Hall B laser phase adjusted to be centered on the slit

Log Number: 4501250Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

Hall B wanted 200 nA but it seemed that our interception on the slit was far too high to try to get there. In steps of .05 degrees I adjusted the laser phase to increase current, then traded the attenuator steps for the laser phase steps, the hall reported no adverse effects, and the gun current produced for hall B was dropped by a factor of two while the current into the hall doubled. I could probably go further but its good enough for now. I'll talk to the Inj SME tomorrow morning to bless the set up.

xC 15uA -> 30uA -> 25uA

After bringing Hall B up we spoke with Hall C to see if they would like us to try to push their current. They requested to try for 30uA which we delivered but they said it was a bit too much for their triggers and asked for 25uA instead.

Non-radical hall B optics tweaking

1 day 7 hours ago
Log Number: 4501220Logbook(s): Entry Makers: samariBody: 

Very painless to set up the optics. Looking at the viewers i used the 2C05 Y focusing matching quad to round out the spot on 2C21 and 2C24 viewers, taking it 5% stronger than design. Otherwise the new design setpoints seem to have worked like a charm! I might make some tweaks once the target is put in to get it cleaner through the cell.
