In anticipation of 16O2+ delivery mid-week, we checked 16O2+ production from the Supernanogan source. No problem. We did have to use the tightest slit settings to achieve a low enough current for the user. Here are emittance scans, normal and with our test booster amplifier inline respectively. Subsequently we set up the line to match into the RFQ. Bias is at 16.32KV. Then we returned the mass selection to 16O7+ for the night. A final emittance scan of 16O7+ for today is shown. It clearly needs a stronger signal. With some slight tweaks, there are some 1nA of 16O7+ on FC6 now. |
