08h35 Start ThomX: Modulator, Frigo, All magnets.

08h40 Cicling all magnets, Start Chillers 

10h00 HV is 'On'

Modulator Interlocks at HV=1215V

10h25 HV=1215 V

Rec. from 20241219 18:14

Linac Steerers: H [2.38 -4.16],  V [-1.70 2.15]

RF Gun Phase is 199.0 dg., RF Gun Att. is 0 dB, (Dark Current is 18 mV, too low), Sect. Att. 2.53 dB, Sect. Phase is 221 dg.

Charges: -106 pC, -107 pC, -116 pC

10h50 Beam is injected to the ring

Trying the LOCO

12h35 Modulator Interlocks at HV=1215V, Went to 1200 V. Did not help even at 1000V (Maher's intervention needed).

13h00 This is the problem with triggering. When triggered internally, the modulator is working.

13h07 OK at HV=1215 V (Unknown reason). Nikolas said miss triggering is less than 5%

13h20 Linac frequency was changed a little bit to diminish miss triggering

18h00 Stop ThomX

13h20 Receipt from 202514_14_21_55 loaded (suitable for 50 MeV), injector adjusted, there is a beam in the ring without RF and with RF 50 kV, 36.5 dg. It is necessary to adjust the injection (storage is not too bad, but TL/BPM2 x=+7.5). The injection kicker affects the radio protection system, causing blocking.

13h55 the modulator is in the standby mode, the laser shutter is closed

Phase between electron beam and FP photon have been done (attachements will come later) (Electron beam is a pickup (150ps fall time) at the IP and Photon beam  is a photo diode (300ps rise time) at the FP cavity output).

time jitter is measured as the time difference between the two ulses at a fixed treshhold of 10mV)

measurements show a 33ps FWHM jitter (15ps)   as long as the FPC is locked on the 500MHz . the jitter mainly come from FPC (see post FPC : https://elog.lal.in2p3.fr/FPC/THOMX+commissioning/416)

In the ring, the TbTSum @2000turns 1.8e8/4e7 ~4.5
