Entry  Fri Dec 2 06:41:25 2016, DK, Benchmarks for compression 
R45_17 as the test file, which was closed at 9.02 AM Friday, December 2nd at the end of the official parasitic
machine time on Fallon et al.

===Summarized results===
Initial file is 2.0 GB of AIDA data

LZMA: 862M; Time: 23 min
BZ2: 1.3G; Time: 6.5 min
GZ: 1.3G; Time: 3 min

The LZMA results are about as I expected: fantastic compression but it takes a very long time to pack the data.
 The BZ2 data are a bit surprising; usually it can be about 10 or 15% smaller than GZ for hexdata from my
experience.  I conclude that we should use GZ (which we are already doing, but now we confirm that it is
optimized for time versus disk space usage).

15.49 We are continuing to compress the data.  Presently we are somewhere around R39_20, sequentially.  I
estimated that there are 578 runs remaining, and naively say each is 2 GB (some at the end of RXX_ may be less).  

Compression at 3 minutes each then takes 29 hours, so it should be finished by tomorrow evening, say around
20:00 or a little later, depending on the fluctuation.

===Full details of the test===

Offline analysis of AIDA R42_32.

Degrader condition of F11 is with the same stopping power of e.g. R42_7 (see https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/509).
     5 mm Al between MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2
     3. + 0.2 = 3.2 mm Al on the upstream side of the PE wall
     Pb wall between MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 was reduced from 7.5 cm gap to ~6.5 mm gap (beam right side pushed in 1
cm, so asymmetric)
     (Variable degrader system remains unchanged with 1,2,3 in: 0.5 mm W + 0.3 mm W + 1.0 mm W (+3 mm Al backings))

See attached histograms.  

Figure 1: The time structure of low energy events seems more normalized with a flat-top and similar intensity as
like R41_2 (see i.e. https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/507 ) rather than R42_32, though one wonders if this is a
real effect or if R42_7 was somehow unusual.

Figure 2: We can confirm that the number of real events corresponding to light ions seems reduced compared to
R42_7 Fig 4.

Figure 5: Distribution in XY of low gain [heavy ion / high energy] is still weighted to the right hand side as
usual, but seems slightly more homogeneous than previous cases such as R42_7.  This is corroborated by the
scalers pasted above, where the implant rate to DSSD#3 is about 0.3 Hz rather than 0.4 Hz of R42_7; this is
probably a real decrease and not merely a statistical effect as R41_2 also shows around 0.4 Hz.  I conclude that
heavy ion implant rate is reduced by about 1/3 from R42_7, most probably from the Pb bricks cutting some
fraction of the beam (though in theory it could be from shifting 5 mm of the Al degrader up stream by ~2 m and
the angular straggling of the heavy ions in the plate).

Specific comparison of the implant rates show we are dropping 0.1 cps on DSSD#2, 0.1 cps on DSSD#3, and maybe 0.05 Hz
(it's a sensible number or not different than zero?) in DSSD#4, which can give an idea of what ion species are being
cut out if we looked at the BigRIPS PID correlated with AIDA implantation.

Checking that the implantation is still reasonable after LN2 fill recovery. 

Degrader condition is 8. + 0.2 mm Al on the upstream side of the PE wall.

All three variable degraders are in (0.5 mm W; 0.3 mm W; 1.0 mm W, each on 1 mm Al backing). 

Confirmed degrader settings at 10.11 (right before a change was made after this run...)

Figure 5 shows low energy front and back, and if I compare to R41_2 offline analysis (i.e. https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/507 ) then we see more fluctuation (of light ions?) it seems. Run 41_2 seems to show mostly noise (anti correlation) and here we see real ions (positive correlation.  This is confirmed in our figure 4, where the statistics of DSSD#3 seems about doubled.  The event rate per unit time in 41_2 shows a relatively flat top behavior characteristic of noise domination, where as our present one shows more jitter that could be characterized by light ion production and transport variation.

10.00 Beam is stopped for changing stripper foil.  Nearly at the end of R42_27.
     Previously there was 8. + 0.2 mm of Al on the upstream side of the PE wall
     Pb bricks between MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 had the width reduced from 7.5 cm by ~1 cm compression on the beam
right side
        So the total gap in this location should be 
     Now we have 5 mm Al between MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2.  
     3. mm and 0.2 mm Al is on the upstream side of PE wall.
     (Total thickness of Al degraders is not changed, only the distribution of the material around F11.)
     (Variable degraders are not moved: 0.5 mm W + 0.3 mm W + 1.0 mm W (+3 mm Al backing))

      F11 plastic at BigRIPS scaler is about 30 cps (doubled from before)
      Brho settings:

        D7 6.2253 Tm
        D8 6.2405 Tm

16.25 Operator calls.  The beam is stopped.  They don't specify for how long and we don't know the exact
technical reason without native Japanese speaker
      Phone rang in the beginning near AIDA R43_41

16.33 They put back the disable access radiation control...beam returns soon?

16.43 R43_47 run in AIDA, beam comes back.
      F11 scint scaler of BigRIPS shows around 30 cps as before.  (network camera scaler from ZDS shows about 80
cps)
      BigRIPS data file 1128

16.58 Naive estimation of the energy loss difference of 40Mg and 41Al from different optics settings
      Use D8 Brho of 6.3208 Tm of R21_0
         40Mg energy after 8mm Al: 125 MeV/u
         41Al "       "     "   ": 140 MeV/u
      Use D8 Brho of 6.2405 Tm as above for the present settings
         40Mg energy after 7 mm Al: 125 MeV/u
         41Al energy after 6.5 mm Al: 142 MeV/u
      So, neglecting other stopping materials, the difference between implantation depths could be about 1 or 2
SSD layers towards the front of AIDA.

17.08 R43_53 removed variable degrader #1 (0.5 mm W [+1 mm Al])

Entry  Tue Nov 29 19:07:35 2016, AE, CG, ATS, AT, F11 conditions after change to C target in F8 [light particles?] visual_scal_4am_Cin_F7.pngpid_r1093.pngimp_ch2.pngpid_ch2.pnghits_ch2.png

The main experiment changed to a carbon reaction target at F8 (similar thickness of CH2 previously used), and retuned the ZDS. First BigRIPS run after retuning is 40Mg_1093 (at 2:29 am, Nov 30th)

The background at F11 has increased. The neutron backgroun incresead by a factor of ~10. The rates of visual scalers also increased; for example Si Top/Bottom from about 50 Hz to 300 Hz (see attachment 1).

One possible explanation are higher light particle rate at F11. By comparing the PID for C target (attachment 2) with that of CH2 target setting (e.g. https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/492), it looks like the new conditions have a higher transmission for A/Q=3 fragments (3H et al). Also, in the new setting the Si isotopes are also transmitted to F11.

The implantation depth is still good; same as we had for C target at F8 (compare 40Al distribution in attachment 3 with what we had before).

Entry  Tue Nov 29 15:12:33 2016, CG, AE, TD, DK, Wednesday 30 November 13x
00.11 Beam stopped for target @F8 change.
      R35 stopped at R35_62.
      BRIKEN file 161129_1951 155->159
      BigRIPS files 1084-1088.

      Bias and leakage currents ok (attachments 1+2).

00:38 Added 0.2 mm Al fixed degrader. The new target at F8 is 0.9 g/cm2 C, which (according to LISE calculation)
      results in 2.7 MeV/u less energy loss than the previous 0.9 g/cm2 CH2 target.

00:42 Beam returned. R36 started. BigRIPS file 1089.
      Initially out of sync with BRIKEN so reset correlation timestamp @ 01:45 (~1/2 way through R36_0).

02:26 Beam rate at F11 about doubled. Now ~80cps @ F11.
      Previously changing beam spot position, but now 41Al now centred.

02:39 Beam stopped start @ of R36_11.

03.33 Beam returned to F11, centred on 40Mg in ZDS.
      Just after start of R36_22.
      BigRIPS file 1094.

04.35 Beam stopped. ~1/2 way through R36_34.
      Continue running with R36.

06.13 R36 stopped.
      The control module of a power supply of one of the STQs has broken and the accelerator team must contact the
      manufacturer to work out a solution.
      This will take some time (hours or maybe even into tomorrow).

09.36 STQ PSU fixed - beam returns

10.00 AIDA DAQ soft reset to recover from LN2 fill cycle transient

10.03 DAQ starts (RIBF03R1/R38)

      Degrader (8mm Al) fixed + ( 0.3mm W/1mm Al + 1mm W/1m Al) variable

10.38 BigRIPS data file 1097

10.50 Unable to sync DAQs - appears BRIKEN timestamp is not being reset, AIDA-RIBFDAQ appear to be sync'd

11.16 Looks like BRIKEN gets the sync again.  It's some kind of integer overflow issue?!  Unclear.
      BRIKEN starts the new run.  It is the same time as AIDA R38_14 (about 400 MB into file)

11.43 BigRIPS data file 1098

12.47 BigRIPS data file 1099

13.02 DSSSD bias & leakage currents OK - see attachments 3 & 4
      FEE64 temperatures OK - see attachment 5
      Visual scalers - see attachment 6
      Good events and Merge statistics - see attachments 7-12
      All FEE64s << 100 k data items/s

      Offline analysis of R38_34 shows most events are in DSSSDs #5 & #6

13.20 DAQ stopped OK (RIBF0R1/R38_35)

      Change degrader to (8mm Al) fixed + ( 0.5mm W/1mm Al + 1mm W/1m Al) variable, i.e. additional 0.2mm W

13.21 DAQ starts (RIBF0R1/R39)
      BRIKEN DAQ issues three re-syncs
      SyncCheck OK

13.32 AIDA data file R39_2
      BRIKEN data file 175
      ASIC settings 2016Nov29-21.38.02
      Degrader (8mm Al) fixed + ( 0.5mm W/1mm Al + 1mm W/1m Al) variable
      B-rho changed from 6.384Tm to 6.673Tm overnight => 9.3% energy change
      A=40 ions at F11 change from 145MeV/u to 158MeV/u

14.22 Beam was off to change stripper foil.  Now it is back at F11, around 10 cps at the scint (BigRIPS scaler) or
60 cps at our normal F11 plastic 
     Very nearly the time of R39_12 beginning.
     BigRIPS run 1101

15.25 Offline analysis indicates we need to increase degrader thickness further
      Will add 0.5mm W/1mm Al to change degrader to (8mm Al) fixed + ( 0.3mm W/1mm Al + 0.5mm /1mm Al + 1mm W/1mm Al
) variable

15.30 DAQ continues (RIBF03R1/R39_25)
      BRIKEN data file 178

16.06 BigRIPS data file 1103

16.23 We observed that the degrader was not actually inserted previously as we thought.
     Now it is inserted, so variable degraders 1, 2 and 3: 0.5 mm W (+1 mm Al), 0.3 mm W (+1 mm Al) and 1.0 mm W (+1
mm Al)
     AIDA run is R39_36

17.04 BigRIPS data file 1104

17.53 System-wide checks OK *except* variable # of nnaida5, 7, 8 , 15 & 16 fail clock status - bit 2 always set

18.06 BigRIPS data file 1105

18.21 DAQ stops OK (RIBF03R1/R39_60) in advance of Clover LN2 refill cycle

19.08 BigRIPS data file 1106

19.29 DAQ starts (RIBF03R1/R41_0)
      Steering to F11 changed by PD - attempt to centre implants in DSSSDs
