Sun Jun 5 01:20:39 2016, DK, AE, GL, PJW, Merger wants first SYNC
|
Trying to start the AIDA DAQ now that the RI beam is (nearly) ready. However, we cannot get merging to work. But the merger status has "Merge
State = GOing : paused : xfer enabled :
want first SYNC" but the last part ought to show "output paused" or after merge begins, "ready for SYNC". We restarted |

Sun Jun 12 19:19:22 2016, DK, Machine Time End
|
3:13 operators call to tell us the machine time is over. No more EURICA!
AIDA62_23 ought to be the last file with legitimate physics data
We will leave the DAQ running overnight as a b/g run. |

Tue Jul 5 09:39:27 2016, DK, Rly16 is not online
|
AIDA was relocated, and now I want to power it on to do some tests. However, I cannot get the Rly16 service running.
Specifically, after powering up the entire AIDA system, on aidas1 PC, I cannot connect to the raspberry pi (nnrpi1) via a web browser

|
Here are some pictures after AIDA's relocation.
In principle, it can stay here, but probably after the tests we will push it further against the wall. However, power and ethernet cabling
cannot reach that far. |

Wed Jul 20 18:41:55 2016, DK, AIDA topped up on water
|
I actually topped off the chiller with water tonight as I am returning to Scotland (and then off to CERN) within hours.
I added 4 liters on around July 5th, to move the marker from a little under the halfway mark to over the halfway mark. After 2.x weeks, it
was still sitting a bit shy of under the halfway mark. This means that in a humid and hot Japanese month like July, AIDA doesn't evaporate more than |

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

Conditions: Two Pb walls with empty windows. 3mm Pb degrader between MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2.
Variable degraders: 1.0 mm W (+1 mm Al) and 0.3 mm W (+1 mm Al)

Conditions: One Pb wall with empty windows. 3mm Pb degrader closer to AIDA, on the front of PE wall
Variable degraders: 1.0 mm W (+1 mm Al) and 0.3 mm W (+1 mm Al)

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). |

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).

I wrote this LISE++ file based on the Takechi .lpp modified by AE for 77Ni, 78Ni, 76Ni.
Basically, I changed the primary beam to 48Ca, reduced the production target thickness to 1 mm (I think it may

Wed Mar 29 17:49:36 2017, DK, cshrc hacking w/ MIDAS
|
The ~/.cshrc was modified to change the MIDAS path for a convenient analysis method, but it should be done in a shell script instead, as it pushes the MIDAS
BASE to all instances
of MIDAS, such as the Run Control, etc.
