We are changing to 5+ beam so that we can access higher energies and possibly observe a higher lying, wider resonance.

Beam energy change to 1.06 MeV/u.

Detectors out

Target nozzle out

Pressure in E1 had reached 2e-1 mbar and turbo was spinning down to 810 Hz. Pressure reduced and E1 has reduced to 8.2e-2 mbar. We may require a pressure increase when we want the target back?

Run changed and out into no storage mode so we do not write rubbish to disk.

11:34

Beam tuning in the ring in progress

Merger OK. Not writing to disk.

Temps OK. Rates OK.

Leakage current OK.

Motors out. Target out.

13:31

Checks OK. Beam tuning near completion.

Some data acquired during beam tuning attached.
