We have acquired the profiles for the 991 keV, 1213 keV, 1587 keV and 1799 keV resonances. The fits looks reasonably well (in the attachement). We also
get a preliminary (but very good) calibration curve (in attachment).
The beam spread from the fits seems to be close to 200 eV. The only problem we see is the stability of the beam energy: it tends to drift a bit |

|
On the ladder, Quartz was mounted on the bottom position. The bottom position (Quartz) is called target 1 at 0 mm, middle position (27Al target
on Ta backing) is called target 2 at 50 mm, and top position (27Al target on Ta backing) is called target 3 at 100 mm.
On HV supply, Channel 0 is connected to Suppressor and Channel 1 is connected to Target. |

|
Computer was attached to the network. Both flanges were mounted to check the fit, and everything was fine. Cooling hoses were connected and water cooling
was checked by turning on the chiller, with no leak. On the actuator flange, two Al targets were mounted on the top and the middle position of the ladder
and Quartz crystal will be mounted on the bottom position tomorrow. |

The entire setup was tested with aluminum nitride wafers instead of Sapphirine. |
Wed Feb 7 08:21:24 2024, Ragan, Peter, Vacuum testing of the flange with water cooling    
|
Flange connected to the cooling system was cleaned, hoses changed, and one Faraday cup mounted and tested in vacuum. Sapphirine chip was used as an insulator.
A vacuum of 3.1E-6 mbar is achieved.
