  • Tous les spectres_vs_position_CdTe mesures ensuite (necessaires pour retrouver la divergence e-) sont acquis en fait avec "NOT nominal ring QUADs" au lieu de  de la recette SOL_245 isuue de la simu Julien (recipe_recipe_LI_TL_RI_all_Sol245_20260113_17_50_09.txt)

Nicolas fixed it, but phases is different: RF gun phase 96 dg., sect phase 203 dg. RF cav. phase?

Ring studies Model-Machine

From time to time laser fase jumps.

Triggers stopped. Nicolas is looking at it.

No triggers!!!!

18h04 LOCO is on its way. Time to times the laser loses phase synchronization. It's terrible.angry

Charge is oscillating, do not see the reason. 

rechecked the laser alignment : it's seems to be within the variations of the beam position. Cannot do better. 

Remark concerning the timing ... 25 min more on the trend data (tango, libera side ? ) : see the trend file for the positions.

16h16 Several recipes were saved with adjusted settings for the linac and ring orbit. Flux I3+I4 riched of 20000 pA, but they became unusable after a few minutes due to instability.

07h55: mise en chauffe en remote (frigo/chillers, laser, modulateur, cyclage)

09h00 HV is on

09h35 recipe_recipe_LI_TL_RI_all_20260226_14_47_33.txt loaded. Beam is in the ring, RF cav. 100 kV, phase 32 dg., F=500.108655MHz

RF Gun phase 75 dg., Sect. att. 2.532 dB, sect. phase 220 dg., linac steerers: V [0.23 -2.68], V [-2.49 3.27], charges (BPMs) around -110 pC

At F=500.108655MHz and TL/BPM02 X=2mm the orbits are almost the same with and without RF (see screenshot)

At given ring settings, the MRSV size is highly dependent on the DPI, septum, and kicker settings, which are determined by the injection energy (Sect. att. and line phasing).

A combination of DPI, septum, and kicker settings should be adjusted to reduce the MRSV size.

12h35 The laser spot has moved outside the screen!!! Help needed!!!

Kevin fixed it.

Additional research showed that F=500.10045 MHz is suitable for ring operation.

15h55 ThomX was stopped.
