268	Thu Feb 24 08:30:36 2022	JG, MS	AIDA5 calibration test failed - solved
UPDATE: THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED FOR NOW: Doing the calib for the 5th time eventually worked. ------------ The ADC check showed that the calib test for aida5 failed. We tried to do the calibration as described in the fail message, but it seems to not work. See attachement.

Correct FEE MAC addresses have been updated in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf Remote access to carme sever has been setup. Remote access instructions in elogs 176-179. New ASIC settings which reflect polarity of FEES produced 2022Jan27-16-43-00 New Options file updated to point to new ASIC settings. /MIDAS/config/TclHttpd/carme-gsi@8015/startup.tcl updated for 8 FEEs /MIDAS/Linux/startup/NewMerger Updated line from "./master64 -i 16 -l 16 -p 11001 &" to "./master64 -i 8 -l 16 -p 11001 &" Quick motors test performed. Motors accesible remotely (elog 179). Motors moving output (BNC 1 on motors box) connected to motors module (BNC 1). When not moving +12V is observed at BNC 2 on motors module.

22.00 Carsten Brandau stopping e-target experiment Unattended beam overnight. No operators watching. 10^5 (nominal) 20Ne7+ at 380keV/u beam available Carsten reports beam is unstable, often disappearing, and in bunched mode. 4x MSL type TTT14 DSSSDs not moving, locked in out position Starting CARME MIDAS DAQ ASIC settings 2024Apr24-14.14.03 slow comparator 0x64 E G&G Ortec 448 Pulser OFF DSSSD bias & leakage currents - attachment 1 FEE64 temperatures OK - attachment 2 All system wide checks OK, WR timestamps OK - attachment 3 ADC data item stats - attachment 4 Rates dominated by two hot channels aida15 per FEE64 Stat spectra - attachment 5 per FEE64 1.8.L spectra - attachments 6-7 no obvious beam energy peak, continuum of energies from below beam energy to threshold per FEE64 1.8.W spectra - attachments 8-9 22.55 Start data file APR24/R5 Merger, TapeServer etc - attachments 10-12 270k data items/s 23:29 Activated CARMESort script. See attachments 13-15. 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 04:23 (05:23 EU) DAQ stopped, merger stopped, tape server stopped. Bias OFF. FEEs turned OFF. Screen shots taken of the monitoring code plots - not yet uploaded. Windows and servers remain up in case we want to do some more tests in the near future. Attachment 18 shows beam intensity for total run time from Grafana

734	Tue Jun 10 16:46:39 2025	JM, CB, EW, AY, PC	150 keV - Run64
Run 64 started. 150 keV/u beam on target, Target overlap confirmed with lifetime measurement using bunched beam. We do not see Rutherford on the detector - perhaps this is a calibration issue - perhaps too much noise at threshold. We leave for a few hours to see if we obsrerve any reactions peaks Moved detectors in with servos only. Both arms are IN and stationary. Left potentiometer = 36.54 mm Right potentiometer = 37.96 mm Horizontal beam position = -3.0 mm data rate is ~5 MB/sec Electron cooler read values; Cooler voltage = 88.57V, cooler current=1.28 mA. 19:05 Full check, Status - Okay! Target thickness ~ 2E12. For more details, check the attached screenshots 20:12 Full check, Status - Okay! Target thickness ~ 1.6E12, For more details, check the attached screenshots 21:22 Full check, Status - Okay! For more details, check the attached screenshots 22:30 Full check, Status - Okay! Target thickness ~ 1.8E12, For more details, check the attached screenshots 23:00 Checks OK. I have increased the equal energy cut back to 500 keV and increased bin size on Ey energy histogram to 50 keV to try and see the nuclear peaks better. Screen shot attached of monitoring code before it was reset. Some small peaks visible.
