11.00 Per https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/CARME/170 and https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/CARME/171 issues have been identified with the FEE64 carriers and adaptor PCBs

Some additional comments

1) Per https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/CARME/170 attachments 6-9 we can see that there are no cable strain reliefs to which we can attach the FEE64 power, RJ45 network and 
timestamp HDMI cabling. It would probably be straightforward to design something which could be attached to the FEE64 carrier side panels. For the time being we will use 
the copper piping of each FEE64 as the nearest, mechanically stable point to which we secure the cabling.

2) Before the skimming of 1x Delron rail yesterday there was a small amount (<1mm say?) of transverse movement of the FEE64 during insertion into the carrier and it is 
not clear why. Small sample of measurements of FEE64 carriers, spacers etc.

Delron adaptor PCB support widths 92.85, 92.87, 92.90
Al DN100CF flange attachment width 92.97, 92.99, 93.01
Al FEE64 carrier spacing rod 93.03, 93.04, 93.03
FEE64 width (w/ 1x c. 2mm skimmed Delron rail) 100.2, 100.2, 100.3 (3 measurements along the length of the 1x FEE64)
FEE64 carrier width 102.8, 103.0 (2 measurements of 1x FEE64 carrier)


probably indicates that the spacing between the FEE64 plates is consistent. There is some variability (~0.1mm) in the Delron adaptor PCB which could affect the relative 
position of the ERNI pins and sockets. Is there some variability in the width of the FEE64s (w/ rails)?

Initial discussions of proposals to provide open CARME chamber and provide access to near and far detector chambers

We assume that we need to complete all work installing and testing DSSSDs and re-assembling CARME by Feb 2022 in readiness for bakeout. 




Proposal #1

Disconnect far detector chamber section from mid-chamber section
Disconnect DN350CF flange from near detector chamber 

Crane to support near detector chamber and mid-chamber sections

Remove feet of near detector chamber and mid-chamber sections

Install cradle(s) beneath near detector chamber and mid-chamber sections

Use for fork lift to remove cradle(s) + near detector chamber and mid-chamber sections - ML confirms that an appropriate fork lift is available 


Proposal #2 (suggested by ML)

Design and fabricate table plus rails to extend transverse rails of CARME chamber support assembly
The CARME chamber support assembly comprises the 'feet' plus two-stage welded Al frame 

Disconnect far detector chamber section from downstream section
Disconnect DN350CF flange from near detector chamber 

Slide CARME chamber plus upper stage of Al support frame transversely onto table

Use crane to move CARME chamber to work area


Other discussions

Discussed workarounds to enable install of FEE64s (outside ring, upper feedthrough) which currently conflicts with longitudinal beam of gas jet target support frame.


To Do

Edinburgh

- investigate feasibility of proposal #2
- investigate how much space is required to install FEE64s (outside ring, upper feedthrough)
  e.g. by extension of transverse beams of gas jet target support frame, move current assembly outwards from ring c. 20-25cm


GSI

- investigate feasibility of gas jet target support frame changes outlined above e.g. movement of gas/water services, purchase of longer cross beams etc.


Suggest meeting (online) to discuss results of these investigations and continue discussions w/c August 22

2x cooling water manifolds with 2x 8 ports have been installed - see attachments 1 & 2

'drain' ports at top of manifold to permit release of trapped air volumes. Local technicians will install a standard blank in one manifold and a small nipple valve on the 
other so that we can bleed air in a controlled way.

#Multimeter detector pin tests. 
Pins on feedthrough flanges investigated using multimeter for the top and bottom detector due to no response from bottom detector when bias was applied. Bias pins on 
correct D connectors are number 78. 

#Top detector
>Observe -18.5 kohm; between nn bias pin and pn bias pin  (multimeter 200kohm setting)
>observe open line between nn bias pin and pins 'near' pn bias pin (multimeter 200kohm setting)

>Between random pins on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) ~0.02Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and unconnected on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) - open line (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and bias pin on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) ~0.01-0.02 Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)

>Between nn bias pin and random pin on another D connector ~-0.4Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)

#Bottom detector 
>Observe open line between nn bias pin and pn bias pin (multimeter 200kohm+2Mohm; setting)
>Observe open line between nn bias pin and pins 'near' bias bias pin (multimeter 200kohm+2Mohm; setting)

>Between random pins on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) ~0.02Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and unconnected on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) - open line (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and bias pin on same D connector (nn bias pin connector) ~0.01-0.02 Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)

>Between random pins on same D connector (pn bias pin connector) ~0.02Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and unconnected on same D connector (pn bias pin connector) - open line (multimeter 2Mohm setting)
>Between random pins and bias pin on same D connector (pn bias pin connector) ~open line (multimeter 2Mohm setting)

>Between nn bias pin and random pin on another D connector ~-0.4Mohm (multimeter 2Mohm setting)

We see a similar response for both detectors except that the pn bias pin gives no response. 
We have looked to find the bias pin on nearby pins to pin 78 and on the other side of the D connector (in case of cabling error-mirror or swapped cables) but cannot find.

All neg feed-throughs have now been fully installed, with ground tags 
and power wires crimped and attached to the correct pins. Feed-throughs 
are installed as seen in Image 
1 of zip file, with mark at the top of the feed-through. The pin 
assignment is seen in Image 2. The pins are assigned letters A to F, 
with F the top pin and C the bottom 
pin as installed(refer to images 1+2). The ground is pin c, with the 
two power wires connected to the bottom pins either side of the ground 
(pins b and d). Connections of 
wires from the negs to the feed-through is seen in image 3. Feed-
throughs have been electrically checked. The ground pin is checked 
against the chamber giving 
approx 0.5 ohms and the power pins are checked together giving 5-10 
ohms. Each of the power pins are open circuit with respect to the 
ground. A 
thermocouple has been attached under the bolt of one of the neg pumps 
(image 4).

Pirani gauge and hot cathode gauge have been installed on the chamber 
(images 5,6,7,8) on the section furthest from the turbos. 

Upper valve, turbo and supports have all now been installed (images 
9,10,11). Images 12,13 are of the internal of the turbo and turbo 
ports. The lower valve supports 
produced by the Daresbury group (image 14) are also now attached. These 
supports were required as the lower valve sits higher than anticipated 
due to shorter right-angled 
flanges.

Chamber is now ready to close and leak test!

JM plans to install new crimped, 3mm dia copper drain wires (a la AIDA@DESPEC) this afternoon.

Some work still required to reduce noise in the system and reduce pulser widths. Pulser should also be checked on scope 

Gauge turned back ON. Bias 80V, 3.5 uA before. Bias 80V, 5.4 uA after. Bias turned off and on again. NO change to diode characteristic, current ramps high before coming 
down once bias on. Bias left ON 80V to see if stable when second gauge turned on and valves reopened. Pulser ON. Fee power OFF. Water cooling ON. 

No significant changes to waveforms, pulser width or rates with gauge ON. Other noise contributions probably outweigh effect of the gauge at this point.

Tried changing ADC control register to 0xf in local controls tab -> stops waveform producing data -> no effect on pulser width (slight increase to 160 chn)
fast comparator blanked off (enable disable mask in discriminator control) -> no effect on pulser width
aida05 was ungrounded -> grounded aida05 to the same ground as aida01-04 -> pulser width reduced to 46 chns
Set ADC control register back to 0x0 -> waveforms back -> pulser width reduced to 24 chns
Changed shaping time from 8ms to 1ms -> pulser width increased to 67 chns -> changed back to 8ms shaping time -> returns to 24 chn width
Changed shaping time from 8ms to 2ms -> pulser width increased to 52 chns

No obvious beam or signal of any kind. Temperatures OK.

00:13 DAQ continues OK. System-wide check OK. Temps OK. Still no clear sign of beam.

01:03 Daq continues OK. System wide checks OK, Temps OK.

Only low energies observed in the energy spectrum. Looks a bit like the low energy noise observed in our previous runs with no/very few counts above what would be beam energy (~7.6 MeV)

Note the xy plots are not all orientated correctly (strips are correct in the sort code but root axis need to be flipped - I can;t remember how atm). The part of the plots with counts are those closest to the beam. 

02:00 DAQ continues OK. System wide checks OK. Temps OK.

Spectra still looks the same. I have noticed the right hand side rate is higher than the left. EyEx cut spectrum also looks like much more counts outside of the cut.

03:40

DAQ continues. All checks and temps OK.

I can now see a small peak at 5 MeV in the bottom left dssd. This dssd also has the least number of counts in the low energy continuum.

I have logged back into grafana on x2go to get the number ions in the ring. Attachment 17

ML reports that baking of the upstream section (gas jet interaction chamber plus e-target) has commenced - initially to 50 deg C to check thermocouples. If OK baking 
temperature will be ramped slowly (which I think means c. 10 deg C per h) to limits established for specific components by the e-target.

Ragan and Oemer are currently threading a 10m heating tape helically around the CARME chamber.

16.20 ML reports baking of upstream section is proceeding OK - currently ramping to 100 deg C at 10 deg C / h.

16.25 RSS reports that he completed the install of the thermocouples this morning and will update the Elog with specific locations of each thermocuple and TC08 channel 
later today.
