Unable to acknowledge VIP2I02A alarm

1 day 5 hours ago
Log Number: 4496660Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

Alarm appears to be a false positive, given the steady readbacks. The alarm would not acknowlege for anyone in the control room, though, so contacted software on call for assistance in silencing the beeps.

Sudden jumps in 0I05 Horizontal position correlated with Hall B current losses

1 day 8 hours ago
Log Number: 4496638Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

Three times in the past half hour, we've noticed a sudden drop in Hall B's current that recovers over the course of less than five minutes. These drops coincide with a sudden jump of a few hundred microns in the horizontal position at IPM0I05. The cause, like many others at the moment, is unclear. The chopper appears to be behaving normally. If you squint, there appears to be some vacuum activity that might suggest something in the chopper is charging and discharging, but it's hard to tell.

Hall B upstream halo excursions uncorrelated to beam in the machine

1 day 9 hours ago
Log Number: 4496627Logbook(s): Entry Makers: eformanBody: 

Twice in the past hour, we have had bursts of noise on the upstream halo counters that seem to be uncorrelated to beam in the machine. In figs. 1 & 2 the upstream halo counter is in brown, injector BCM is in pink. Note that the noise in the upstream halo counter appears while sending beam and trips the beam off. Despite beam off, the noise continues for several minutes until it suddenly stops without intervention.
Hall B was contacted and their system expert is investigating.

Hall D current stability and slit size

1 day 9 hours ago
Log Number: 4496616Logbook(s): Entry Makers: eformanBody: 

Hall D beam currently using chopper slit A. When A slit was closed down to 17mm, current stability was very poor, bouncing between 0 & 28 nA while trying to send 25 nA. Opening the Hall D slit reduces current instability to +/- 2 nA.

No deleterious effects on Hall B halo rates noted.

We were sending Hall C witness tune beam at the time in addition to B & D CW.

Suddenly seeing Hall B upstream halo counts with no beam in the machine

1 day 9 hours ago
Log Number: 4496615Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

Not long after opening Hall D's slit in an attempt to stabilize their current, began seeing jumps in upstream halo rates at Hall B. We assumed this was a consequence of increased bleedthrough, but now we're seeing counts with the beam off, tripping FSD on halo counts without actually sending. We are confused, to say the least.

IPM0I01 Drift tracking w/ xB atten

1 day 10 hours ago
Log Number: 4496604Logbook(s): Entry Makers: deirBody: 

Looks like over owl shift we were maintaining 180 nA with about 420 on the xB atten.

There's some obvious horizontal drift pre-chopper that's tracking with loss in the chopper, and thus xB attenuator and gun current.
