<p>Target density this morning had stabalised at 7e11 at/cm2</p>
<p>This is sufficient to test the beam/target overlap using the lifetime of the beam in the ring.</p>
<p>Previous attempt at this method was done at 1.5e11 at/cm2 where lifetime from residual gas and target are essentially the same.</p>
<p>Beam set to bunched. Beam position varied by 1mm and the number of particles in the ring taken from Grafana plots. Particles at injection compared with at dump.</p>
<p>Significantly more beam loss at > 8 mm beam position with highest value at 8.75 mm. This is the maximum we can move the beam.</p>
<p>Test repeated with no target. Same beam loss rate for all positions. We see a clear difference with the target only at positions > 8mm.</p>
<p>Test repeated with original electron cooler voltage Gleb tuned with last night. Same outcome -> cooler voltage has no significant impact on overlap (for 0.1V at least)</p>
<p>Overlap using count rate over 7.5 minutes also tested. DSSD 1 (top right) used as gauge as no beam stripe is seen in this detector. </p>
<p>At horizontal position 4 mm (previous estimation of overlap) we saw a small increase in counts around 4.7 MeV with the target off compared to target on (76 vs 57)</p>
<p>At horizontal position 8.75 mm we saw a large decrease in counts around 4.7 MeV with target off compared to target on (95 vs 290)</p>
<p>It appears clear the overlap is at 8.75 mm. Future runs will use this as horizontal beam position.</p> |
