Before began the carbonization process, two cameras were setup in the hotlab for monitoring the evaporator and the power supply. On duty ISAC Ops
also helps to monitor on a regular basis and to grab the striptools + cameras (twice/shift) and put this information in the ISAC Logbook with subject header:
"UCx_2011_A 'date time'", for easy search. |

Evaporator was cleaned Nov 11 from after target was conditioned up to 175A. There was significant condensation of oily fluid on the left side where the
target container was open (D-shaped end cap). There were also deposits in the hole for the ionizer, but the ionizer itself seemed to be clean. |
