Summary of today's Gun HV conditioning under vacuum
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.
