Mon Nov 12 11:25:58 2018, CBH, Expected Proton Energy Plots
|
Attached are the plots from MC simulations of the energies the detected particles are to have, with the top plot showing the dE-E plot and the bottom
plot showing the total energy of the particles.
Please note the height of the peaks is not indicative of the counts expected and there is a low proton background expected between the entrance |

Thu Nov 8 10:01:32 2018, CBH, DK, New Struts Installation 8x
|
Struts arrived and were installed on Wednesday. The holes on one side of each of the struts to connect the wheels to were slightly too wide (11.5
cm vs 10.5 cm).
We've taken away part of the wheel holders and now they seem to be fitting in. |

Wed Nov 7 14:27:45 2018, CBH, DK, Beam Plan for Miguel and Alberto (ISOLDE beam operators)
|
Presently, we are scheduled for 9 days:
Nov 26-28
are three (3) days nominally for beam development
Nov 29-Dec 4 are six (6) days nominally for physics data taking
Dec 5-6: Shutdowns and important
tests are planned by ISOLDE team
Dec 7th - power gets shut off to ISOLDE
==Run Plan==
1 day for ion source and 2.8 MeV/u beam dev
1 day for High |

While changing HI degrader foil to 10um Al, the E detector was investigated, due to previously observed alpha punch-through.
On visual inspection, the E detector appeared to be 1mm in thickness, leading us to believe that instead we were not fully depleting the detector.
The bias supply was investigated, and was found to be supplying a lower voltage (on all channels) than was shown on the display (14V -> 2V |

Faraday cup readout at the end of our chamber should change based on whether or not the target is in and also the 59Cu beam energy.
The effect could be as much as 10 to 20%. At some point, we should check the Faraday cup reading with the CH2 target and with the empty target. |

Wed May 24 16:18:22 2017, MD, Notes from visit of ISOLDE at 23rd May 2017
|
Status of Beamline XT03 at HIE-ISOLDE:
Scattering chamber (1m*1m) will be put in place in next two weeks. They are just waiting for separate crane, which will be mounted on the wall.
(Reason is, that the roof crane can only go down in the middle for XT03, because it is the end of the hall) |

I asked IT about putting the elog name into the email subject line (useful for those of us subscribed to more than one elog). They said they enabled it
for ISOLDE. Let's test
to see!

Tinkering with configs for SYMPA email server to see if the elog info is sent to the mailing list or not
Normally it is sent by ELog@jast.ph.ed.ac.uk and I changed it to "restricted to local domain and subscribers" from "restricted to subscribers" under Edit |
