After EOB activities from 15N4+ run that ended this morning, we have begun preparations to switch over the ion sources. Turbos off just after 11:00. We have Mg source material ready. We will be using the MWS ion source. Due to the requirement to run the source at 53kV, we will also remove the Supernanogan cart from the cage as a sparking precaution.

Later... MWS backplate removed and reworked for Mg operation. Buttoned up and under high vacuum again now. Currently 2.5e-6 Torr at ~14:00.

Later... Plasma is lit. 24Mg begins to be visible after a while.

Note: Supernanogan cart is in its service dock.
