Spoke with CIS on-call regarding gun HV trip and degraded vacuum.
On their instruction, we opened the gun valve to assist pumping the vacuum back down (vacuum is recovering slowly...it was sitting at 1e-5 torr for ~15 minutes).
Plan moving forward is to wait until vacuum recovers (~1e-10 torr), then ramp the gun up at 50 kV/min, watching for signs of field emission (decarads, vacuum, gun current, anode current).
If the ramp-up goes without a problem, we will let the gun soak at 200 kV overnight without beam.

COMMENT ON Investigate and Troubleshoot YBBS06 ARC7 Shunt failure

2 days 2 hours ago
Log Number: 4474620Logbook(s): Body: 

When turning on the ARC7 box supply, the YBBS06 shunt was still showing signs of the known issue. We have ruled out the shunt chassis, cabling going downstairs, the connections on the magnet for the shunt, and the magnet leads themselves to the magnet. The next thing that we can take a look at without needing access downstairs is taking an LCR meter and measuring the string. Paperwork to follow.

Gun HV Trip

2 days 2 hours ago
Log Number: 4474618Logbook(s): Entry Makers: bschaumlBody: 

We were running 60 uA CW to the ILD. First three valves closed and pressure spiked above 10^-4 on the gun pump. I didn't see anything on the DecaRADs at the time of the trip though there was a brief spike of 40 counts when the injector SME began sending CW. The gun pump appears to be pumping down very slowly, but is still at 10^-5 as I submit this log
