The ring orbit has been re-established despite some difficulties after the shutdown.
The ring cavity has been started. Whatever the phase it kills the beam.
Two hypothesis:
1) It can be a frequency problem
2) It can be a transverse kick given by the cavity
About 1:
- Magnet current and frequency have been scanned but no effect.
About 2:
- We see betatron oscillation.
We see the beam lost by steps, not a continuous decrease.

Next steps:
- Mesure FFT of BPM signal (VM, VC)
- "Open the ring" (kick the beam out of the ring) and study the effect of the cavity (phase, power) on the BPMs. (VK, IC)
- Scan betatron oscillation vs phase, orbit, power and frequency
- Slava: To catch the beam you should think like a beam.
Actions:
- Try to get remote control of RF synthetizer (ND)
