  182   Sat Nov 7 12:21:35 2009 Keerthi Jayamanna  17O hand valve status

17O+3 at FC6 became 550nA.

17O hand valve found to be closed. Probable cause may be the cold weather.

After opening the valve beam came back. 2.6uA of 17+3 at FC6.

 

Notes by DMG 8-Nov-2009:

This valve is barely cracked. Temperature will affect it at such close settings.

Starting pressure Saturday when beam fell off: 4e-8 Torr.

Pressure today with strong beam: 6e-8 Torr.

Pressure during Saturday setup where beam began to quench: 8e-8 Torr.

Conclusion: Correct operating pressure range for Supernanogan source is tight. We removed the MWS head, anticipating this to be the case. It's so even when the slight extra pressure is entirely due to the source gas.

  188   Wed Nov 18 23:46:14 2009 Keerthi Jayamanna  OLIS development started

All turbos in the OLIS and MCIS are off. No controls for the MCIS. Pumps switched of by pulling the CG cable.

All the gate valves are off. All bypass are removed

  193   Thu Nov 26 06:20:21 2009 Keerthi Jayamanna  Supernanogan Development

Swiched off all the pumps and ion gauge for oven installation.

 

  194   Thu Nov 26 06:22:58 2009 Keerthi Jayamanna  Cusp source

Arc power supply does not hold any voltage.

  263   Fri May 7 12:29:41 2010 Keerthi Jayamanna  Supernanogan development

Supernanogan development for 33S started. All MW and MW and MCIS power sypplies are off.

Gas for microwave source also closed from hand valve

Later... separator field stability development. Local Hall probe is online. Let it cook.

  264   Fri May 7 19:10:05 2010 Keerthi JayamannaRoutineGeneralOLIS status
MW source is back and running. A new vacuum chamber is added to the Supernanogan RF block. SO2 is not filled in yet.
  275   Mon May 24 22:42:51 2010 Keerthi Jayamanna  33S development

Tried to see the background before 33S installation. Found few problems: MCIS:YCB1 does not hold more than 58V.

Very difficult to transport the beam without YCB1. Need to find a solution. Open and fix it is not an option even though we have a ready spare. It will take two weeks to get the vacuum back.

------------------------------

Outgoing TIGRESS experiment was the occasion for another ISAC milestone, 8MeV/u through the SCC for the first time just around midnight last Friday, May 21st. This also represented the first 8MeV/u beam to an experiment. And we can proudly say that OLIS beam was used. TIGRESS run ended at 08:30 as scheduled. Attached is a trar graph of beam on FC6, snapped periodically throughout the run. As before, you can see a small daily variation likely related to temperature of NA-LCW. There were reports of HPL tests this past Thursday and Friday. Evidently no effect over here.

  276   Tue May 25 00:19:18 2010 Keerthi Jayamanna  33S

 

Finally got something going. YCB1 short to the ground. YCB common plate connected to YCB1 power supply. We were lucky. Polarity was right. Ran the source with no 33S.
Saved file as “backgroundNo33S.dat” No optics set yet. SO2 connected not open yet. 33S 17% is in the oven, but not heated yet.

33S spectrum is saved as 33S_spectrum.dat 

  383   Fri Feb 18 11:05:50 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  OLIS Problems
PE set point is ok but read back is half of the real value.
  384   Fri Feb 18 11:43:32 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  IOS: EE Status
IOS:EE found damaged. It has been replaced with IOS:SSEE-Michael B.
  385   Tue Feb 22 18:52:53 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  Ti+7 efficiency studies

2mm diameter Ti was installed to set the optics. Later 0.0005 in thick foil will be installed for real efficiency studies.

  386   Tue Feb 22 18:54:43 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  EE and SSEE

Both EE and SSEE problems were solved. They are working OK now.

  387   Wed Feb 23 22:29:48 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  OLIS mahnet

Klixon at the OLIS bemding magnet is not funtioning properly.

  389   Fri Feb 25 17:27:11 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  Titaniums efficiency test

Small peice of titanium wire is installed and running aroung 100pA of Ti+7 at FC6.

OSAC are OPs taking data.

  388   Fri Feb 25 17:27:11 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  Titaniums efficiency test

Small piece of titanium foil 0.0005" thick is installed and running around 100pA of Ti+7 at FC6.

OSAC are OPs taking data.

  390   Sat Feb 26 22:06:03 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  Ti+7 status

90pA of Ti+7 is running smoothly. 22:05  Feb26th

  391   Wed Mar 9 11:09:02 2011 Keerthi Jayamanna  IOS:SSW failed

IOS:SSW failed unexpectedly. No reason found. Came back on easily.
