Summary of last week:
- On Thursday the beam energy was very different from usual (magnets current higher 172A for TL; 176A for RI) => made it impossible to re-use previous settings for the ring and to find new settings.
- On bith days, beam was unstable at TL/SST.02 and at the entrance of the ring. Part of the stability (but not enough) was recovered by setting TL/QP.4 and TL/QP5 to the same value.
=> not able to keep the beam in the ring for more than 500us or to inject more than 50pC.
Requirements to discuss on Friday:
- Get the results of the klystron power measurements
- Energy and charge stability
- Establish a working point for the lines.
- Linac alignement
Measurements to be done and documented:
- Stability of dark current (VM on 2/2)
- stability shot to shot and hourly-stability (laser power, laser position, phase gun-laser [VC is working on it], phase gun-entrance section, phase gun-exit section, charge at the exit of the gun, charge at the exit of the section, energy and charge in the dispersive line)
=> charge stability measurement ND on 2/2 + 9/2.
- Dipole power supplies and dipole field
- RF power stability (Klystron, ...)
- Data alignement (ND on 2/2 + 2/9)
