8 good event in first 8 minutes
then laser was optimized, but still 0.1pA beam (almost nothing), called Miguel and he fixed it remotely
Beam back at 08:28:20, so the last 3 minutes there was some beam. Stopped to start a new run.

Comments: 
02.14 realized target current was down. Should have happened quite recently.
Interestingly, when target current was down (no Cu-beam) the gated and ungated trigger rate was 0, although
Pulser was 2. Is the pulser somehow excluded from the trigger??

Comments: scaler on HI-det: around 10 --> prescaler = 0. Thats why only E trigger. Check if trigger technique
also suits empty frame runs.
          see few dE versus E event --> scattered on target frame (I guess)

  Draft   Wed May 24 15:21:37 2017 MDNotes 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)

The scattering chamber will take place at the gray surface with all tube connector.
The end of scattering chamber is ISO 100. Do we have the right adapter for the tube to connect?

The scattering chamber, with a lot of electronics inside, has a pressure of something E-06 mbar, so our pressure should fit well.

Our faraday cup was asked to have the possibility to monitor if we getting beam or not.

 

Behind the scattering chamber there will be a setup for Neutron Time of Flight experiment on C15 in the end of august and on 9/10Li in the end of October 2017.
The setup length will be additional 5-6 meters (close to left end of the poster/wooden box on picture).

 

Offline Setup:

Offline Setup next to parallel wall will probably not be possible due to the other setup, but there is at least 2-3m*4-5m space on the wall, where the beam line points to (corner). We just have to leave some space that people can access the crane ladder.
No specific time was discussed, because the current setup has to first installed.

 

Alignment:

The Tools are mounted at the wall (2 points) and are setup in the corner (stand from bottom). It is an electronic system, no further details from Karl, but contact has been established.

 

Beam Height:

Beam height is 1.75m. We will bring our own metal frame for support. What is our height (range) at the moment?

 

For Offline test we can have an alpha source.

Power plug: SWISS standard à need ADAPTERs

3 normal plugs per grounded access point (with C16 fuse). For offline testing we can easily use 1-2 access points, which would be enough.

Near the installation place at the beamline are also 2 access points, which we will share with the scattering chamber. In case we also use extension to the offline ones, although safety regulation allow no cables on the floor, so we always have to use cable guides above. (I´m not sure how they deal with power cables…)

Next point: cables guide are used, so we have to bring longer BNC cables and the other long ribbon cables.

No camacs crates are spotted at the moment by Karl, which we could use.

No OIL pumps are allowed anymore at HIE – ISOLDE. Our roughing pump and Turbo pump are working without oil, aren´t they?

Grounded crates??

 

Expectations:

They want to have a drawing of our setup (chamber including metal frame, crates, vacuum pipes, water cooling, … maybe add work place with PC)  

And all the SAFETY Regulation papers should be prepared.

 

Important!!! Everything is temporary:

 There are daily changes in the setup at XT03 with scattering chamber and neutron TOF setup in the next week and when ISS chamber will be installed, the odds and ends near the wall and the corner will hopefully disappear, so we will have a better picture how much space in the end will be there.

I will visit ISOLDE in the beginning of June again to see the progress.

 

Forgot to ask:

Any special placement for water cooling or can we still use shortest possible distance to chamber?
