Optimised motor motion during run R58

Moved 2 mm in (20.3 potentiometer)

29.47 potentiometer

36.5 potentiometer

(started moving pneumatic)

64.36 potentiometer

74.03 potentiomater (servo in by 10 mm)

Moved in, collected counts for 5 minutes, moved out, waited for re-injection.

20.3 - 400 counts on the Rutherford peak, bins 125-131 on lowEnergyExTotalDSSD0

20.47 - 646

36.5 - 827

64.36 - 3900

74.03 - 10040

Based on Rutherford rate ratio, estimated we are 40-50 mm away from interaction point, i.e. beam roughly 1-2 cm on outer half of ring which may be consistent with BPM measurement in YR08

Decided to use 74.03 mm for data collection.

Started data acquisition on R59 at 17:27

Beam 3E7 at injection, 600 second storage, 3 second between cycles

Target pressure 1.3E12 based on 8.21E18 x S1=1.6E-8

Removed ground from DSSD #1 to the chamber and set MACBs so that timestamp is from the NIM WR emulator not the VME VETAR2.

Root MACB mode 0x3 -> 0xd - all other MACB modes 0x3 ( unchanged ).

No timestamps observed from the emulator. Re-set to take timestamps from the VETAR" unit -> all timestamps observed.

10:30

No pulser observed in nn FEE modules 9, 10, 13, 14.

ADC data items check OK - all ~3k - attachment 2

Rates - all OK  - attachment 3

1.8L spectra. - attachment 4,5

1.8W waveforms - attachment 6,7

11:00

Checked daisy chain which goes from 8->14->13->10->9. Replaced the lemo cable from 8->14 and pulsers re-appear. Rates all OK except aida10 which has now disappeared, tried asic check and reset and startup again no change in aida10.

Now majority of pulsers are observable the widths will be noted in a spreadsheet

After replacing lemo for nn pulser chain, all nn pulser widths decreased slightly ~10% for all nn FEEs, little change in pn pulser widths but n pulser for DSSD#1,2 appears more gaussian

11:44

FEE64s power cycled. aida10 now prioducing data.

Removed internal jumper from CAEN N1419ET 

ADC data items check OK - all ~3k - attachment 8

Rates - all OK  - attachment 9

1.8L spectra - attachment 10,11 little change in pn pulser widths but nn pulser widths are slightly broader.

1.8W waveforms - attachment 12,13

15:50 Jumper re-mounted onto caen bias module

ADC data items check OK - all ~3k - attachment 14

Rates - all OK  - attachment 15

1.8L spectra - attachment 16,17

1.8W waveforms - attachment 18,19

16:45 Ground cables attached from water pipe (chamber ground) to lemo cable on aida08 (nn), aida13 (nn), aida09 (nn), aida01 (pn) so that all DSSDs are connected to chamber ground.

ADC data items check OK - all ~3k - attachment 20

Rates - all OK  - attachment 21

1.8L spectra - attachment 22,23

1.8W waveforms - attachment 24,25

Nikos needs to enter the cave to work on the target cooling.

Offline analysis data file G22-201/R89_0 to R89_13 (c. 6h40m data)

DSSSD#1 & 3 36.54mm -> ~ 2.3-8.6 deg

Moved pneumatic motor in and out several revolutions

Biased detector up to 100 V, I ~ 12.4 uA ambient temp c. 21 deg C

Moving detector in increased leakge current to ~14.5 uA, moving detector out dropped leakage current back to ~12.4 uA

aida05 - pulser width 21 chn (slightly lower than yesterday)

aida01 - pulser width 124 chn

aida02 - double peak (is not currently grounded)

aida03 - 183 chn

aida04 - 212 chn

Attachment 1     1.8.L spectra p+n FEE64s

Attachment 2      per FEE64 rate spectra

Attachment 3      aida05 1.8.L, 1.8.W and rate spectra

Attachment 4      FEE64 temperatures - OK

Attachment 5      per FEE64 ADC data event stats - rates for aida01-aida04 significabtly lower than yesterday presumably due to detector bias -100V

Attachments 6 & 7 per FEE64 1.8.W spectra

Attachment 8      1.8.L spectra for n+n FEE64s

regrounded aida02 back to cryring ground - required removing star configuration of all fee grounds and making a new

aida05 - pulser width 30 chn 

aida01 - pulser width 300 chn

aida02 - 220 -> double peak gone 

aida03- 190

aida04 - 200

Perhaps star configuration isn't as tight as before - re tighten star section

Re tightened section -> no impact on pulser widths

Moved detector in using pneumatic -> no impact on pulser widths

Added a grounding cable from the 19 inch rack to the same CRYRING ground that the fees are connected too. Stats around 2-3k, slow comparator = 0x64, bias=100v, I=12.18 uA

aida01  ~ 260

no change

Bias supply module is floating

ion pumps off, gauge off -> no change in waveforms, leakage current dropped to 8.7 uA

Current status 17:00:
All CARME vacuum equipment is off (turbo, SIP power modules, NEG power modules, gauges) - roughing pump is on but is valved off from the turbo which is valved off from chamber

Motors and motors pi are off. Detectors are fully out and the pin has been reinserted. 

Bias ON 100V, 8.5 uA. Pulser ON, all equipment connected to 19 inch rack power ON.  Jumper is on link 1 for nn bias adaptor card only. 

At 00:37 we lost the beam due to a high pressure burst in the tarjet which resulted in a valve closed at YR09VV...

On-call service technicians are coming to solve the problem.

Screenshots of all NewMerger statistics

To include alll 16 FEE modules in the NewMerger we edited the file /MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/MERGE/Options/carme-gsi from MERGE.LinksAvailable string 5 to MERGE.LinksAvailable string 15

We also edited the file /MIDAS/Linux/startup/NewMerger from ./master64 -i 8 -l 16 -p 11001  & to ./master64 -i 16 -l 16 -p 11001  &

We have started the Merger and tape server. The merger settings were 'corrupted' and did not display xfer Links => Merger. We implemented a fix from https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/DESPEC/36 and this resolved the issue.

We started the tape server, merger and go on the run control. We observe the merger working and data links to the tape server. A new file is created each time but we observe no data being written to that file. After 5 minutes of no data being written the merger crashed and the fees crashed soon after. We will leave until tomorrow to resolve.

Issue subsequently resolved see elog https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/CARME/487

Cooling fixed. Temps OK.

Beam issues due to too long storage time in the last hours. Motors moved out and not moving.

Decreased storage time to 70 s. Seems OK now. Restarted motor movement as before
