Development over the weekend. Results to come. Restart source now and let it warm up. 4He2+ on FC6. Plasma at zero, to duplicate weekend settings. Arc at 150V. FC6 ~=150enA and settling down presently, IG1 = 2e-7 Torr.

Later ~10:00: FC6 ~500enA. Mass scans next.

Later ~14:00: Some scans done. Outcomes to come. Meanwhile, Marco Lovera has manufactured a new aperture for the CUSP source frontplate. It has a larger diameter, therefore should allow a brighter, if more diffuse, beam out of the source. Preparations for venting and installation are in progress now.
