To use both anydesk and firefox on the carme server require an internet connection.

As the server is on the cryring local network an ssh tunnel needs to be opened to the GSI proxy server.

To do this: ssh -L 8080:proxy.gsi.de:8080 carme@atppc025` and leave terminal open and running.
Both anydesk and firefox have been configured to use the proxy localhost:8080

For the carme password ask J. Marsh or C. Bruno

Ion beam energy is calculated using Beamcalc (https://web-docs.gsi.de/~lestinsk/beamcalc/electron.php)

Electron current is set to 4.3 mA and can be taken from Grafana

Alpha factor is 50

Ion energy is then adjusted using the cooler voltage

The cooler voltage inserted into BeamCalc is taken from the FC20 voltage divider. However an offset from the space charge correction is required!

This correction is determined experimentally by changing the electron current and finding the cooler voltage which maintains the optimum cooling of the beam.

Attachment 1 shows this plot for 15N1+ at  ~0.426 MeV/u

Attachment 2 shows this same plot in comparison with BeamCalc

To obtain the correct energy we need to subtract 2V from the voltage used in BeamCalc

An example is shown in attachment 3

Here to obtain an ion energy of 426.6 keV/u requires a cooler voltage of 246.7 V. But, due to the space charge correction this value should be 244.7 V.

The cooler voltage setpoint should therefore be chosen so that the FC20 voltage divider reads 244.7 V.

The setpoint needs to be ~0.55 V higher than the desired value i.e setpoint of 245.25 V to obtain the required 244.7 V (at least this beamtime it does)

  134   Sun Oct 31 07:29:17 2021 CB JM + RSS OGDetectors mounted on plate in CARME

(Wed 27 October)

Dismounted plate from rod. Dismounted broken detectors from plate and placed back in box. Dismounted "dog leg" struts and replaced with fully un-threaded struts.

Mounted 3335-13 in bottom position.

Attempted to mount 3335-2 in top position: dog leg strut conflicts with jacking plate. Attempted to remove - bolt stuck in thread. Removed bolt with great difficulty after dousing the bolt and hole in ethanol. M3 vented bolt is completely bent. Thread in hole appears still good. Bad bolt? Mounted strut upside-down with new M3 vented bolt. No issues. Mounted 3335-2 on plate.

Mounted extension plates for strain relief. Note countersunk bolts.

Removed all flanges with wires from CARME. Lubricated rod with ethanol. Slid rod with 2x detectors on. FIxed with bolt in front and back. Plate securely mounted in CARME, but some degree on rotational freedom is left.

  95   Wed Sep 29 13:13:51 2021 JM RSS PB(remotely)Detector frame assembley

29/9/21

We have opened the cleaned parts for assembley of the moving detector frames. We appear to have everything we require. 

Standoffs - 12 M3x35 bolts, Many M3 washers, Many M3 nuts, 16 standoff tubes. 

Heatshield - 46 M2 nuts, 46 M2x20 bolts, 16 M2 washers

Strain reliefs - 20 M4x35 bolts, Many M4 washers. 

Strain relief supports - 30 M4x10 hex head bolts, Many M4 washers

Clamp - 2 M6x10 bolts 

Upon attempting to assemble standoffs M3 bolts became stuck and could not be removed. A similar issue occurred with the MACOR assembley a few weeks ago. The detector frames have been given to Omer along with a diagram of the correct hole sizes to check and re-drill holes if neccessary. Frames will then be cleaned. We expect to get them back tomorrow to continue assembley. 

30/9/21

Bolt hole sizes were checked and appear to be correct, no re-drilling required. Detector frames cleaned after stuck bolts were removed. Holes were checked again using M3 and M4 bolts, none became stuck. The heatshields, strain supports and clamp were assembled on the frames. Remaining pieces and bolts are accounted for and can be assembled when required.

  495   Tue Feb 6 09:39:54 2024 CBDetector bias tests

10:30 Found ADC#4 on aida 1 and 4 are suddenly noisy. See attach 1-2. Checkloaded multiple times - no effect.

Leakage current overnight was stable, but a clear transient can be observed yesterday around the times of the DSSD motion test. We did not observe this in the cave looking at the CAEN module - it might have been too fast.

Now reducing bias to 50 V and will check differences later. FEE temperatures OK.

 

10:50 Started DAQ. Rates are much higher in n+n strips, but p+n strips appear unaffected. See attach 4-5.

Stopped DAQ. Will leave 50V until after lunch.

 

11:27 Checked motor control status after yesterday's setup (see previous ELOG entry). See attach 6.

IN counters are respectively: read, increases, latch (left), latch (right)

Read is the number of pulses sent with the instruction to move. Increases is the number of times the instruction was considered. Latch on/off indicates the 1 s time interval during which commands sent to a motor arm (left or right) are considered double-firing or mistake, and ignored.

The number of increases is the same for move in/out - good!

The number of increases for move out is 1 unit less than move in - one double pulse / double command must have been received overnight and ignored.

Note torque on right arm is 2 (arbitrary units) which is unusually high and may indicate some tension in the kapton wires. No apparent effect on DSSD2,4 on that arm. Will not move for now.

 

13:24 FEE temperatures OK, leakage currents decreasing slighly.

13:41 Slowly increased bias to 100V. Interestingly it is now DSSD#4 (Ch#3) that displays the highest leakage current. Attach 7

13:45 Stats & Rates look rather similar to earlier this morning at 150V, but aida01 and 04 are quieter. Attach 8-9. Will leave at 100V for a while longer before moving to 150V.

 

15:20 Set bias to 150V

15:50 Nikos testing target. Started short run. Stats & Rates attached (10-11). Same as yesterday, aida01 and 04 ADC#4 no longer noisy.

V-I on attach 12-13. Legends unreliable!

 

17:00 Nikos completed target test. YR09 pressure around 3E-10 mbar with around 5E11 atoms/cm2 He target. Target not quite stable (10-20%), some optimisation required, but pressure holds at 3E-10 mbar for several minutes.

Beam on target will increase ring pressure. Can't test for now. Target tests without beam complete. Need to log all the data remotely. No logging available at present.

Leaving bias at 150V overnight. No run.

  183   Tue Feb 1 14:43:20 2022 JM, TDDetector Bias, FEEs

Detector is not biasing as it has in previous tests. Last bias 15/1/22 see previous elogs, max leakage current ~10 uA at 150V

Detector bias increases well above 10uA for voltages as low as 30-40V. Optical windows covered, Y09 valves closed, large ion pump OFF and both ion gauges OFF produces similar results but with a slightly lower leakage current.

Grounding and pulser cables removed from FEEs and jumper attached to nn bias adaptor card - no change. Bias module swapped out - no effect. NIM rack shows expected voltages (6,12,24) on multimeter.

 

AIDA03 - disconnected. Behaves as expected. Get waveforms and pulser peak. Pulser peak FWHM ~ 70 channels, noise transients observed.

AIDA02 - Not producing ADC data

AIDA01,04,05,06,07,08 - Very high rates - noisy

  184   Wed Feb 2 21:53:32 2022 JM, TDDetector Bias

FEE mounts for 5,6,7,8 disassembled to access adaptor boards. No sign of debris which could cause short on adaptor boards. 

Adaptor boards removed and checked against spares with multimeter. Both show same characteristics. Pins on feedthrough checked using multimeter. No longer see -18.5 KOhm between bias pins, no see 140 kOhm which is similar to bias pin to non bias pin from prevous tests.

Camera on interaction chamber removed and replaced with foil, no change. 

Ion gauge (Edinburgh group) turned ON

Decided to move detectors using motors. Movement caused change in bias characteristic of the detector. Initial movement was 50 repetitions in and out over which the bias was increased from 10V to 140V. Over this range the detector exhibited diode like behaviour. The difference between the in and position and out position caused a 0.5 uA difference in leakage current. Once stationary, the current was stabel at 140V but after 20s current increased rapidly and tripped.  

Increasing bias again to 30V while stationary (out position on motors) gave 7.3 uA , going to 60V tripped again. 

Moving the detectors IN but keeping stationary gave a stable current at 30V of 4.2 uA increasing to 70V tripped again. Turning off the gauge reduced the current at 30V to 2.9 uA and 70V to be be ~15.5 uA. Opening an optical window at 70V saw no change in leakage current. 

Possibility thermocouple attached to or around the detector may have come loose within the chamber? Thermocouples outisde of chamber removed from thermocouple flange so they don't interact with outside of chamber. 

Detector biased to 60V - 10 uA. Detector position moved in and out 20 repetions, during movement current dropped to 2.85 uA. After motion stopped leakage current remained stable at 2.85 uA. Optical window opened no change. Torch light shone into optical window - increase in leakage current to 3.5 uA. Torch off - return to 2.85 uA. 

Motion started again for 50 repetitions to test stability of leakage current. Current varies between 2.84-2.88 uA during movement, settles to 2.85 uA once motion stopped. 

FEE holder reassembley. Involved turning off bias, unplugging bias cables and rebuilding assembley. FEE holders reaasembled with FEEs reconnected. Water cables, HDMI, ethernet, power connected. Bias turned off and on during reassembley multiple times to check for changes. Each time bias at 60V remained 2.85uA. Each time lower voltages appear to show diode like response in leakage current output. 

Pulser connected and FEEs turned back on. Aida05 appears not producing ADC data rates 8 kHz on statistics page -investigate further. Aida06 rate ~70 kHZ can see pulser. Aida07, 08 nn bias show rates ~300 kHZ possible not enough bias for nn side. Rate for all FEEs yesterday (unbiased) was 200-300 kHZ except for AIDA03 disconnected and AIDA02 which wasn't producing ADC data. Photo of Aida06 spectra attached (log scale for pulser). 

FEEs turned OFF. Bias left on 60V - 2.85 uA see if stable overnight, stable for approx 2.5 hours before leaving cryring. Detector moved to OUT position, pin back in. 

To do - Grounding, reduce noise, waveforms,  investigate AIDA05, how high can we bias?

Just after midnight on 20/04 it appears DSSD #4 leakage current has perfectly stabilised. See attached.

DSSDs remain biased.

 

20 April

19:30 - leakage current still stable but anydesk connection not working.

Machine is connected, but connection fails.

 

21 April

Anydesk connection works again. Leakage current remains stable. What changed?

  597   Fri Jun 7 15:53:35 2024 TDDSSD leakage current increase - temperature increase in CRYRING hall

Re-increase in DSSSD leakage current c. 14-15.00 6.6.24 

There was a significant temperature spike in the CRYRING hall on the afternoon of 6.6.24 which has, partly, recovered - see attachment 1

Quote:

Started run 39.

 

We have the 15N+ beam with 426 keV/nucleon. We see a peak in detector top left (mostly) and bottom right, at 4600 keV. We think it is the beam (nominally 6400 keV) after going through silicon dead layer, which however seems to be thicker than expected (expected 0.7 um, but given 1.4 MeV/um energy loss it seems to be > 1 um).

To understand what was going on we first played with detector and beam position.

At 17:28 detectors are fully out, while we are playing with the electron cooler to try to remove this beam halo hitting the detector.

 

Detector DSSD0 top left periodically seems to get noisier (statistics up to >2E5) and we need to move the detector in and out to go back to normal operations.

 

------------------

The beam halo in top left detector, as the detector gets moved in, gets elongated in the y direction instead of the x direction, as expected and previosuly observed.

Run 40 started.

Movements and observation in xy plot:

- Move right servo in by 20 mm and we see the halo in the top right moving accordingly (attachment 12)

-Move right pneumatic in, saw big increase on bottom right (attachment 13)

-moved beam position down vertical -6 mm and we see reduced beam spot on top left and more on bottom left

-----------------------------------

Beam - target overlap:

We have yet to obtain an overlap

We cannot do this using the beam lifetime as from beam calc the lifetime from the ring is comparable to the lifetime with a target of 1e11 at/cm2

We have tried using Rutherford. However, we will have to move the detectors IN further as the Rutherford peaks at ~3.8 deg.

Possibly we may require other overlap detections from the ring?

I also think the beam requires some optimisation, electron cooler voltage seems to be fluctuating a lot and we see some features on the detectors when moving the beam / detectors as mentioned above.

 

02:25

The beam intensity has decreased signficantly (by about a factor of five) since about an hour. Operators tried different things, also consulted with Frank Herfurth, but they could not solve the problem.

There is no device which indicates malfunction.

So, during the rest of the night shift we will continue searching for the overlap (of the beam with the target) with the available beam intensity.

 

03:30

The beam intensity has improved without any aparent intervention.

We have started a new search for the overlap with 20 minute runs per horiznotal beam position.

03:40

After changing the horizontal beam position from 0 mm to 1 mm, the bottom right detector lost the Rutherford peak and its position spectrum looks to be half empty.

Moving it OUT and IN again did not change the situation.

There is no reason to think that this behavior has been caused by moving the beam by just 1 mm.

 

04:10

The beam intensity has dropped again without any apparent reason. So, at the moment we can not continue search for the overlap.

The bottom right detector seems to be counting normally again (also without any apparent reason).

  748   Mon Jun 16 08:17:41 2025 JGD2 consumption

The current bottle of D2 was installed on friday 06.06. at around 12:00. I assume we started at 200 bar.

Right now we have 50 bar remaining in this bottle (16.06. at 8:00).

This is an average consumption of ~15 bar/day

 150 bar / 9.83 days

 

 

  677   Fri Apr 18 16:18:33 2025 JMD+D BBN energies test

D+D minimum energy Ecm = 150 keV which corresponds to Ed=150 keV/u or Ed=300 keV. Therefore we need a threshold below this.

Test 1 - Current status

Current slow comparator threshold is 0x64 (1 MeV). ADC data items rate in all FEEs is essentially zero with this threshold. (except aida03 and aida04). Aida15 and 16 also show ~1k rates when DSSD4 current is fluctuating.

Pulser was set to find point it is cut off by the threshold. Attachments 1,2,3 show 1.8L for nn channels with the pulser set to 570,550 and 530. Over this range pulser disappears. Estimate 550 is equal to ~1 MeV.

Test 2 - Noise level at lower threshold 200 keV

Threshold set to 0x14 (200 keV). Pulser kept at 550 for the time being to gauge location of noise compared to pulser. Attachments 4,5 show 1.8L for nn and pn channels respectively. Some noise observable at low energy.

Note zero energy is around 32500 channels. In nn channels (attachment 4) pulser is to the right of the noise peak, wheras in pn channels (attachment 5) pulser is to the left of noise peak.

Attachment 6 shows data rates with pulser off. Rates okay, only aida15 has very high rate (80k), rest of channels <5k.

Test 3 - Noise level at lower threshold 100 keV

Threshold set to 0xa (100 keV). Pulser kept at 550 for the time being. Attachment 7 shows data rates with pulser off. Rates significantly higher all round. Half of channels >50k, some >100k.

Attachments 8,9 show 1.8L for pn and nn channels respectively. A lot more noise observable at low energy. Pulser peaks generally overshadowed by noise. 100 keV probably too low to set threshold.

Test 4 - Noise level at lower threshold 150 keV

Threshold set to 0xf (150 keV). Pulser kept at 550 for the time being. Attachment 10 shows data rates with pulser off. In general rates are pretty low. Most channels <1k. Aida15 and 16 pretty high.

Attachments 11,12 show 1.8L for nn and pn channels respectively. Noise observable at low energy but in general less than that of the pulser peaks.

Test 5 - D+D pulser peak at lower threshold 150 keV

Theshold kept at 0xf (150 keV). Pulser set to 180 (should be about 300 keV based on Test 1). This should be the level of d+d at our lowest beam energy.

Attachments 13,14 show 1.8L for pn and nn channels respectively.

Test 6 - D+D pulser peak at lower threshold 200 keV

Theshold increased to 0x14 (200 keV). Pulser kept at 180 (should be about 300 keV based on Test 1). This should be the level of d+d at our lowest beam energy.

Attachments 15,16 show 1.8L for nn and pn channels respectively.
