 Sun Oct 31 07:29:17 2021, CB JM + RSS OG, Detectors mounted on plate in CARME 8x
|
(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. |
|
Sun Oct 31 07:41:20 2021, CB JM + RSS, Wires plugged in DSSDs 8x
|
(Wed 27 October)
Started with top-most flange. Attemptedto plug in MACOR lead in DSSD plug in preparation for jacking in. Realised that extender plate thickness
causes plug to be rasied with respect to nominal position, which results in plug non entering straight. Removed extension plate. |
|
Sun Oct 31 07:55:39 2021, CB JM + OH, Strain relief mounted
|
(Thu 28 October)
All strain relief extension plates mounted behind the wires, using SS countersunk bolts (not silver plated).
Inserting bottom part of MACOR strain relief causes wires to bend too much with strain placed on DSSD. No reasonable way to proceed like that. |

Tue Jun 17 12:22:50 2025, CB EW JG AG SN, Run 94/95/96
|
Run 94
Background with beam at 150 keV and no target.
Note energy is 0.15% off vs. beam and target to have a more realistic orbit. |
|
Fri May 31 21:53:20 2024, CB EM, JM,EM AB, Overnight beam tests 17x
|
22:53
Run 15 started
Beam tests. We increased the storage time to 2min and switched to bunched beam so that we can see the beam lifetime over the cycle. |

Run number changed 09:44 - Now run 23
Moving motors with the injection
Ring signal very weird, moving in for short time and staying out for 15+ seconds. |

Mon Jun 16 21:58:00 2025, CB AR, Runs 84-89
|
Found all Merger Links background black - inactive. Nontheless the tapeservice was working, the data rate to disk was normal, and the file was being
written and the histograms were being updated.
Decided to stop DAQ, stop Merger, restart merger. Links rest to green background - but no more writing to disk! |

Wed Nov 24 12:08:08 2021, CB + ML OG, Ion pumps on
|
Found SIP power unit for D2000 #4 not functioning correctly. Max current regardless of ion element connected to.
ML kindly loaned a spare. All D2000 work Ok now. Will have to send faulty unit for repairs back to SAES. |
|
Mon Nov 1 14:48:16 2021, CB + ML DR, CARME opened
|
Confirmed leak as per previous Elog.
Tightened to 100 Nm - no effects.
Tightened to 130 Nm - bottom leak disappeared. Top leak still at 1.3E-8 mbar l second. |
|
Tue Nov 23 08:49:33 2021, CB + ML, NEG activation completed
|
Found temperatures and pressure stabilised overnight. See attached.
12:00 Began activation of 3x UHV1400 in channel 2, top module. Started using 90 W as per procedure. No effect on temperature. Increased to 120
W. OK |
|
Tue Nov 2 12:45:36 2021, CB + DR NK, Issues with CARME feet
|
Attempted to close CARME as carefully as possible.
Swapped out one foot for another one and temporarily removed a second to allow CARME to rotate slightly and get a better alignment of the two
surfaces of the COF600 flange. |
|
Wed Sep 29 09:27:38 2021, CB (remotely), RSS JM ML, Power cut
|
Sudden and unexpected power cut at 10:02 German time, affecting all the target hall.
It has been caused by the emergency alarm being triggered. Reasons unclear. Electricians were informed.

Fri Nov 26 10:01:45 2021, CB (remotely) ML, Power cut in the CRYRING cave
|
| ML reports power cut in CRYRING cave. Reasons unknown. No effect on vacuum, but top valve closed for safety reason. Ramping down temperature. |
|
Tue Nov 30 10:49:43 2021, CB (remotely) GV, Gate valve opened
|
GSI vacuum division IE514 gauge connected.
Gleb reports gate downstream opened. Vacuum goes up and recovers as expected. |
