VK/ND/SC; Faisceau Anneau 10x
|
Modulateur Impossible à passer en Standby ==> problème manque d'eau.
* Remise à ~4bars le réseau principal
* Restart du soft du modulateur (sinon l'erreur reste) |
|
VK,VM,IC,ND; Operations 18/1 10x
|
9:05 Git pull
9h14: Demarrage modulateur
10h22 Client 3 does not respond; Reboot the machine |
|
VK, VM, IC, LS; Restart storage in the Ring
|
~9h Start of the modulator
10h Tuning of the injector with KD
11h Try to inject in the ring. Only 1-2 turns after optimization. We tried previous injector settings, the situation is the same. We retuned |
|
VK, VM, IC, LS; Work on the new ring lattice (August, 2-4) 13x
|
Starting point nominal lattice D1Thomx_017_064_r56_02_chro00 with the MCF=0.014 chro=0/0
Goal: test the new lattice with MCF=0.0231 chro=0/0 which alows to decrease the RF frequesncy down to 500.25 MHz. This will make possible
operation witht eh FPC. |
|
VK, VM, IC, KD; Ring commissioning 7x
|
Start of the machine by KD
11h20 The beam is in the ring
Optimization of the injection with the RCDS |
|
VK, VM, IC on Thu Feb 29 ; Recomissioning of the SR, search for the revolution frequency
|
Start of the machine 9h
Optimization of the beam transport to the Ring.
Work on the lattice of the Ring and search for the revolution frequency. |
|
VK, VM, IC; Recomissioning of the SR, search for the revolution frequency 13x
|
8h50 Start of the machine
Laser amplifier was somehow OFF. Very strange situation and not clear why it happen. To be understood.
Call Viktor, who came and start the laser. |
|
VK, VM, IC; Recomissioning of the SR, search for the X-rays
|
8h50 Warming up the machine
Problem with the vaccum around the RF cavity (see screenshot attached). Intervention of vacuum team is needed.
Mohamed is installing the powermeter to monitor the incomingt RF power for the accelerating structure. |

VK, VM, HG,IC, AL;

Shift started with machine receipy from Monday .
Scan parameters, injection to find orbit in the ring. Testing alghrithms for orbit correction.
15.55 Energy , charge not stable, asked Hayg to stabilize . |
|
VK, IC. VM, ND, LS; beam storage
|
The main idea fo this week is to prepare the beam for the search of the first X-rays.
Start without RF cavity. Study of the orbit. Orbit correction. We menage to correct hor. and vert. orbit.
We put the RF cavity ON. A lot of interlocks during the day. Difficult to operate i this conditions. |
|
VK, IC. VM, LS, JNC; Test of the new optics (27-28 July) 6x
|
Start of the modulator and laser at ~9h and hour later start the beam.
Working at 500.38 MHz to retrieve the previous state of the ring. Then switching to 500.33 MHz (assumed ring proper frequency).
- Optimization of the injection and ring (orbit, betatron/synchrotron oscyllations, tune....) |
|
VK, IC. VM, LS; Studies on the beam revolution frequency 12x
|
The main task for today is to measure the revolution frequency without RF cavity with the spectrum analyzer.
Start-up of the machine.
After setting the previous setting, the orbit was very different. We checked the injector, the beam also was different (based on the beam images) |
