<p>We changed to cathod 23 - 7Be</p>
<p>For beam tuning we:</p>
<ul>
<li>Closed downstream iris (actuator = 82.5mm)</li>
<li>Closed central iris (actuator = 85.5mm)</li>
<li>Set target ladder to position I (95.010mm) - 3mm collimator</li>
</ul>
<p>We found the cathode wheel could no longer be turned remotely, instead Lucio rotated the wheel by hand to cathode 23. We had low beam current at the cathode.</p>
<p>Lucio called Raffaele to confirm the cathode number used yesterday (eLog entry #33)</p>
<ul>
<li>Cathode 23 is new -> still has copper on front of cathode which is removed during cesium sputtering -> process takes 2-3 hours</li>
<li>Instead we moved to cathode 19 - 7Be. Thiis is the cathode used for 7Be yesterday</li>
</ul>
<p>We decided that when noting faraday cup currents we should also record the offset as well. Previously I was recording the measured minus offset value.</p>
<p>After tuning, and setting the CSSM magnet to 918.3 mT:</p>
<ul>
<li>FC - 4 = 410 - 260 = 150 pA (drifted from 450 - 260 = 190 pA)</li>
<li>FC - 0 = 92 - 0 = 92 pA (drifted from 107 - 0 = 107 pA)</li>
<li>FC - E1 = 50 - 5 = 45 pA</li>
</ul>
<p>We felt ready to start a measurement with 7Be</p>
