Recovered AIDA after power cycle (unknown cause of crash from the end of R10)

Corresponding run in BRIKEN: 161109_0814_747576Ni_012

 

Run condition for Takechi has changed since our crash

F5 empty; F7 CH2; F11 carbon

At the beginning of our run, we had all Aluminium degraders in (1 mm was added back after our crash for safety)

We finally removed all but 1 mm Al on the variable degrader

Put the variable Al degraders all back in for safety (was 4.4 mm, now 5.4 mm)

Takechi team switches the condition: F5 empty; F7 CH2; F11 empty

 

7:00  Reset Run Control, run Setup, everything looks good.  Start the run

          Data rate around 10 MB/s

7:04  Checking the online data rate with MIDAS, the event rate is nearly zero...but it comes back (presume Takechi team was playing with the beam condition)

Events come back...

TapeServer was still running, so maybe that was a mistake...?

03.50 74-76Ni beam delivered to F11.
      F11 plastic rate ~1kHz.
      F5 C target in. F7 empty. F11 C target in.
      R7 started 03.51.
      Initial rate 0Hz in all DSSD.
      Removed all variable degraders and implant rate only up to ~1Hz in DSSD1.
      Will replace all variable degraders, enter B2F and remove fixed 5mm plate and work back from there.
      R7 stopped 04.00.

04.07 Beam returned to F11.
      F11 plastic rate 1.1kHz.
      R8 started normally.
      Will now gradually remove variable degraders.

04.18 Now removed all variable degraders.
      Implant rates from offline/full analysis below:
      *** DSSSD # 1 count:       697 old count:       354 dt:      1.03 s  HEC rate:    333.95 Hz

      Leakage currents @ 04.21 attachments 1+2.

05.55 Takechi group want to remove C target.
      Moving variable degraders back into place.
      R8 stopped 05.59.
      Leakage currents @ 05.55 attachments 3+4.

00.15 Setting changed to 71,72,73Ni. All variable degraders in.
      Will remove while watching rates to settle on degrader setting.
      F5 CH2 in. F7 CH2 out. F11 C target in.
      F11 plastic rate 1.2kHz.
      R5 started.
      
00.30 Cut F2 momentum slit. F11 plastic rate down to ~400cps.

00.34 Increased primary beam intensity by x2.
      F11 plastic rate increased to ~800cps.
      This setting should run until the beam change ~03.00.
      
00.47 R6 started.
      All degraders gradually removed but implant rate in DSSD1 only ~10s Hz.

01.03 71,72,73Ni beam stopped for tuning to next setting.
      R6 stopped.
      Leakage currents attachments 1+2

23:28 Run 4 Start
      Thick 6mm C target in beam
      
      Running with 3.2mm (variable) + 8mm (fixed) of Al degrader. Fixed degrader in same position as R3.
      Variable degrader reduced to 1mm of Al.
