Check the status of the DAQ system, with Tom. All correct. See attachments:

1 Leackage currents

2 ADC data item stats

3 White rabbit time stamps

Note: At 9:36 we thing they are working on cooling the beam, there is no target and the detectors are fully out.

9:16 cooled beam, carlo is starting new run r21

Target dencity = 1.47E11 atom/cm2 (10:30 am)

Horizon Y09 from 9 mm to 8 mm, checking different beam position (10:55 am)

Right arm is fully in (11:02 am)

By moving in the detector we are reducing the intencity (11:04 am)

Right numatic out, right servo in, potentiiometer at 38.38 mm (11:05 am)

Losing every second shot, tuning the numatic to get better parameters, beam tuning&nbsp; (11:13 am)

Leaving the detectors out while going for lunch, still beam (11:42 am)

&nbsp;

12.23 Both detectors 37mm in ( DSSSD wafer edge c. 5cm from beam axis )

System Wide Checks Update - Run 21

Temperatures ok, leakage current ok

AIDA16 said that there was an FPGA timestamp error, collected again and now all passed - timestamps on merger statistics page all good when checked

Attatchment 4: Temperatures

Attatchment 5: Waveforms layout 7

Attatchment 6: Waveforms layout 8

Attatchment 7: Wavforms layout 2

Attatchment 8: Waveforms layout 1

Attatchment 9: Leakage current ok

16:11 Both detectors 37mm in ( DSSSD wafer edge c. 5cm from beam axis ), target off, beam being tuned, what ever, still run 21

System Wide Checks Update - Run 21

Temperatures ok, leakage current ok

18:00 Run 21 contd. We have spent the afternoon trying to confirm whether we observe an overlap between the target and the beam. We varied the horizontal beam position and used the top left detector around 19-20 MeV region as a gauge for the count rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This should be reasonably safe as the beam halo in this detector is primarily at low energies. We took the count rate over 10 shots into the ring as our gauge. Attached is a plot of the results of varying the beam position. Target density and gas pressure was apporximately constant throughout.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We estimate -7 mm is the correct horiziontal beam position. We also had a call off Zoran while at this setting as he observed a decrease in the beam lifetime which was observed in HKR. See attached plot of the scan (attachment 10)
