8h50 Thomx warmup

10h20 HV is 'ON'

RF Gun phase is 254 dg. Sect phase is 243 dg. Sect. Att. 0.119 dB, Charges: -112 pC, -113. pC, -140 pC. Linac steeres: H [1.00 -3.49], V[1.92 2.13]

11h00 Beam is in the ring. Receipt 70 MeV from references BPM TL2 X=-1 mm

11h30 HV went standby. Maher fixed it.

11h32 HV is 'ON'

BPM transmission does not work properly (see screenshot)

Good storage at 70 MeV with the receipt.

Laser phase adjustment during the shift a few times

Work on the BBA at 70 MeV

For this, measurement of the ORM. There is a differennce with the model ORM. Attempts to tune the ring from the model. Work should be continued.

Due to this, only manual BBA can be done at the moment.

Starting also to adress the manual BBA in the TL. We used HCOR2 and QP5 and TL BPM.03. The results are not clear (big element-to-element distances). To be continued.

16h35 Stop ThomX

Image processing results from the EL/DG/SST.01 camera. The resolution of the target image is 9.8 μm/pixel (horizontally).

The rms width of the horizontal beam profile (Gaussian approximation) is 325 pixels or 3.2 mm (see the figure uploaded). The simulated dispersion at the screen is about 1 m, so the rms energy spread is 0.32%.

Matin :

Soucis synchro :
- Nicolas les a redémarré
- kevin est vebu vérifier la synchro du laser, le signal du 500 Mega un peu faible (à vérifer)
- toujours des coups perdus

Soucis Alims :
Dipole --> 250A impossible de forcer 159.3
- currentSetpointPM=159.3
- currentSetpoint=250=Current ...
Ds passé en erreur. Ok L'alim était en local ....

Soucis phase section :
Problem with  calc/li_hfi/write_dep.01-mot.01 does not work.

To change section phase li/hfi/dep.01-mot.01 was used

18h08 Unable to get low energy spread on TL sst2. It seems we observed a scattered beam.

18h15 Gave up. Stop ThomX

Entry   Entered by Super Team from 134.158.195.141 on Thu Dec 4 08:58:52 2025; Preparation/check of the 70 MeV WP for X-ray run Screenshot_from_2025-12-04_16-10-14.pngScreenshot_from_2025-12-04_17-38-20.pngScreenshot_from_2025-12-04_18-01-39_WITH_EL.png

Goal: preparation and checking the machine operation at 70 MeV and 40 MeV (ideally with X-rays)

8h54 Warming up
RF section 29.20 C -> 28.5 C

9h45 Beam on

Start at 50 MeV and then going to 70 MeV with 70MeV_Xrays_I3I4_20kpA_flatVertorbit_vertSigma_122um__20250821_14_36_08.txt

In this recette the dipoles are at 253.78 A which is 2A lower than nominal current for 70 MeV. The goal is to go to the nominal value.

Phase scans, beam is transported to the ring. Only few turns.

Scan of he RF cavity phase.

scope 192.168.229.22 which used to monitor losses and charge is not accesible as someone else is connected to it from srv 3 with  192.168.229.92. We need control of this scope in the CR.

After also checking it locally, the signals were not set, cable unplugged.

12h30 Problem with SST. Nicolas is checking.

Optimization of the injection. HCOR/VCOR are set to zero. Storage obtained; RF ON freq 500.031690 MHz

Several interlocks shutter laser linac

13h20 Stop for the visit

14h47 beam on

Daniele worked all the afternoon with the students. FPC is changed for 70 MeV.

MRSV does not start; need help for it

Work on the 70 MeV. orbit is corrected. The final tutning should be checked with X rays.

At the end we understood thqt the EL dip is set to 159.3 A. The orbit was recorrected with only the EL dip set to 253.8 A (the difference in the orbits is shown in the scrennshot). The rest of the elements of the EL are should be scaled to 70 Mev (it will not impact the orbit as dipole)

The recetter is saved:

70MeV_ELdip253p8A_20251204_18_10_12.txt

70MeV_with ELat50MeV_20251204_17_10_20.txt

The BLM signals during the shift were moving in time: to be understood, maybe timing problem.

This configuration must be checked with MRSV and/or X-rays to confirm the X-ray flux

2 Remarques : 

1) 2 figures of merit tres petites ~ 10^-20 qui donnent des valeurs de TL differentes ....

    - Valeurs ideales TL "de Julien" : betaX = 36     betaY = 36      alphaX = -4.5    alphaY = -4.5 
    - Valeurs du jour :                        betaX = 30.4   betaY = 81.6   alphaX = -6.5    alphaY = -8.5
A suivre - Trouver Bonne figure of merit + minimisation emittance .... 

2) Valeurs QUADs "QP3" utilisee dans la simu RING (quads autour de l'IP) :

QP3 SIMU julien :  - 6.7 A
QP3 REEL : 
       c1_qp8 = -6.02
       c2_qp8 = -6.03
       c1_qp9 = -6.11
        c2_qp9 = -6.0

==> ~ 0.7 A de difference  - Pour les autres quads : SIMU vs REEL sont proches.
