This entry was incorrectly added to the OLIS logbook.  it has been moved to the I3 logbook.

MCIS-

the cart was moved into the HV cage.  The facilities will be connected and an oven will be tested for the upcoming Se experiment.

Will take measurements for installation of key interlocks on cart power supplies.

SIS-

the filament assembly was removed for inspection.  When increasing the ionizer current it would work correctly until about 20 amps.  Then the current would stop (like an open cct).

MWS-

will prepare for Be later this week.

The remaining connections were done on the MCIS. 

A piece of 1/8" teflon was installed between the back of the sputtering tube/motor and the HV cage.

Ray confirmed the cart power supplies (heater and sputtering) Epics page readouts for Voltage and Current are okay.  The Heater p/s was left plugged into the cart receptacle.  The Sputtering p/s's are unplugged.

The MCIS:FC0 OUT limit was not actuating.  It was adjusted.

Keerthi tested the oven last night and was getting Se (14/10/24 it appeared to be Se, but the Prague magnet was not working.  Further investigation revealed it was not).  The oven supply is currently bypassed and ON.

Evigeny is working on the Alga and CPI amplifiers.  Both signal generators and the amplifiers are powered ON and connected.  Alga to the dummy load and CPI to the MCIS.

The ALGA amplifier and its signal generator have been turned off at the request of Controls.  They have had communication issues and are looking for any recent changes.

The nitrogen bottle needs to be replaced.

MCIS-

Does not appear to be producing very much Se.  There is a lot of calcium and potassium.

Cart is removed.  Unplugged CPI amplifier.   No extra time for investigation.  Set-up required for MWS.

note:  one cart wheel is damaged.  will need to service, or replace in s/d.  other wheels will need to be check as well.

MWS-

Changed to Be plasma electrode for upcoming experiment.

MCIS-

cleaning out source to remove potassium and calcium.

Areas cleaned with scotch-brite and then wiped with methanol:  plasma chamber, tuning chamber (ports opened for access), TP3 tube.  The inside of the ground electrode tip has been removed and sand blasted clean.  The inside of the ground electrode has been wiped as much as possible (very limited access).

 The ALGA amplifier has been unplugged and moved.

MCIS-

the cleaning has been completed.  The oven assembly is removed and the gate valve closed.

The quartz tubes on the ground electrode have been installed with the larger diameter tube pushed as far downstream (toward the optics box) as possible.  The smaller tube has been positioned to extend 1-3/4" into the plasma chamber w.r.t. the insulator flange.

Currently the turbos are running and the source is pumping down.

Note-

there was a Controls problem when trying to operate the source.  They tracked the problem down to a bad ethernet communication cable.  A temporary cable is in place while a new one is being prepared.

MCIS-

a new oven assembly was installed on the MCIS yesterday.  The cart has been installed in the cage and is connected.

The power is connected to the cart oven as is the MCIS bias.  it is currently on and being tested for Se

MWS-

Keerthi removed the Be electrode and installed the quartz beaker.  There is quite a bit of a copper coating inside the source.

MCIS-

the MWS Bias and PE have been moved on to the MCIS (the MCIS connections have been removed).

The plug in power to the HP Signal generator has been moved to a continuous source (Removed from the source controlled by the SSW).

SIS-

a test filament assembly has been installed in the SIS.  No chemicals have been loaded or alignment done on the oven / ionizer.  It has been installed just as a test.

MCIS-

the source is off.  It is under vacuum and in the HV cage.

SIS-

the test filament assembly has been removed for inspection and the port blanked.  Ray D. noticed that the Swagelok connections for the water manifold are extremely close to each other (potential short).  Yesterday, when reducing the current on the ionizer the voltage varied significantly.  The currently on the FC also changed.

The temporary collimator installed in the 4-1/2 CF port has been modified.  the through hole opening has been increased from 3mm diameter to 6mm diameter.

A new SIS source has been installed.  The oven has been loaded with Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Alfa Aesar 10863) and Rubidium Nitrate.

The ethernet cable from the CPI TWT amplifier has been temporarily moved to the Alga 50W amplifier.  The Alga had been experiencing loss of communication.  This has not been an issue with the CPI so this cable will be tried with the Alga.  A signal generator is not connected to the Alga.

There has been no noticeable loss of communication to the ALGA 50watt amplifier.  As a test, the ethernet cable was removed for about a minute and then reconnected.  The amplifer re-established communication without issue.  This test was done twice.

Now, the CPI ethernet cable has been returned to the CPI amplifier.  The original ALGA ethernet cable (blue) has been reconnected to the ALGA.

PS  The nitrogen bottle has been replaced.

MCIS-

the Se was loaded into the oven last friday (21st).  During the weekend the presence of 76Se +11 to +15 was verified.

NOTE- the oven p/s on the cart is broken.  An attempt was made to remove it on friday.  It may be possible to remove, if the rack it is mounted on is loosened and turned.

SIS-

the Ionizer p/s control cable was removed to allow for local operation.  Keerthi tested the power supply in local mode on the weekend and found that the voltage did fluctuate.  This was confirmed by changes in the beam current.

Ionizer Power supply + is connected to the common on the SIS source

Ionizer Power supply - is connected to the Ionizer on the SIS source

a cable is connected from the SIS main, bias plate to the negative terminal on the p/s.

The MCIS was vented with nitrogen yesterday.  The Se oven was drawn back into the tuner.  It was removed with the tuner and blanked.

The standard quartz window was removed and replaced with a ceramic, test window supplied by CPI. (p/n VWU2054).  The system is currently pumping down.

The OLIS 1 week shutdown has been completed (WP 2015-04-13-1).

General-

Y-Box insulators were inspected and look good.  Beamline optics were inspected.

MWS-

The La disk was removed.  Source housing was cleaned and re-asssembled with a beaker installed. 

MCIS-

The cart was installed in the HV cage.  Kr gas pack was installed on the cart and the transfer tube was opened up to MCIS vacuum.

SIS-

Source PE and EE assembly was removed and opened up for inspection.  A new source was assembled (1/4 Ta tube and 0.040 Ta Oven & Ionizer wires) and installed.  Lithium Nitrate Anhydrous (ALFA #13405 TR#205938) was inserted in the oven.

OLIS MWS is currently running an producing 22Ne2+

A water leak was reported inside the HV cage (FR#8079).  The cage was accessed to determine the source of the leak (WP#I2015-04-27-1).

The WMS cusp cooling line was leaking.  It was close to the MCIS cart (at ground) and had sparked through.  The hose was cut at the puncture location and re-connected. to the fitting.  It was re-routed to be further away from the MCIS cart.

Service of MCIS.  Plasma chamber cleaned.  Repaired shorted, Right steering plate.  Added shields to help prevent coating of wires.  Beam is off centre on first collimator of steering assembly.

Moved Ground electrode away from PE approximately 0.10".

  Note:  the plasma chamber and ground electrode tip are clean.

2015-05-19  Repaired shorted MWS PE.  Internal short was found.  The source chamber was vented and cleaned.  The beaker was replaced with a new one (it was coated with carbon).  WPI2015-05-19-2

My first OLIS elog entry.

End of run diagnostics done. See ISAC elog. Supernanogan cart is already installed and at high vacuum. Prepare to run 17O from Sgan sometime over the weekend. Today's agenda:

1. Close 18O bottle and gas valves.

2. Isolate IOS:CG0 to minimize pressure contribution from long copper lines.

3. Work around gate valve interlocks.

4. Set up for leak checking: IOS first.

We did some preliminary vacuum checks, and found significant loading on the IOS turbos, probably downstream near DB6. Leak checking now in progress.
