94Se setting:
File: 150503_1500_1554_94Se.root
Rate per tube (n/s): U=0.966, D=0.263, US=0.538
Entry  Tue May 5 05:04:00 2015, J.L. Tain, J. Agramunt, G. Kiss, Change of degrader thickness 
For EURICA measurements degrader thickness were increased
trying to decrease MACI and AIDA trigger rate
Before we had 5.7 mm of Al

Failure of a quadrupole triplet at BigRIPS (some time after earthquake)

We take the chance of measuring background:

File:
150504_1500_2047_bckg.root
Rate per tube (n/s): U=0.098, D=0.0062, US=0.0200
Ratio to 1st 110Zr: U=1.38,  D=1.99,  US=0.90
Notes:
-Compared to the
1st background measurement there are changes
larger than expected statistical fluctuations: 
perhaps due to slight changes in noise
