</ul>
<p>Struggling to see beam in diode for all of these past runs.</p>
<p>Opened iris to use far S2 as diagnostic tool - beam is stopped in thick CH2 targets so detector is safe even at its small angular coverage (~5 - 15 degrees)</p>

<ul>
<li>Run time: 14s</li>
<li>Pulser ON, as before</li>

</ul>
<p>Still struggling to see beam on diode</p>
<p>Found lemo cable used for diode timing between CFD and Logic OR has exposed cabling -> replaced lemo. See attached picture 1 for old lemo.</p>

<li>Run time: N/A</li>

<p>Realised we were making a mistake when looking at the DAQ spectra. We were looking at ADC 2 (labelled as 3 on DAQ file browser) channel 16 (an S2 back strip) when we should have been looking at ADC 3 (labelled as 4 on DAQ browser) channel 16 for the diode</p>
<p>Closed iris, checked beam current. Using 10mm aperture FCC = 1pA.</p>
<p>Opened iris, moved ladder to position #3 - CH2 XVI</p>
<p>Run # 181127164749</p>

<p>Switched off detector biases, switched off preamps. Closed FCC valve. Closed line valve. Turbos off. T1600 backing and manual valves closed. Ecodry 1 and 2 off.</p>
<p>Vented chamber. Mounted thin target CH2 50 ~ 50mm from Far S2 - see attached picture 2.</p>
<p>Left 0.9um mylar in front of far S2.</p>
<p>Remounted far S2 and far preamp. With detectors on in air trigger rate ~ 9kHz.</p>
