*See elog #142 for target description*

one endcap still in place, one removed for OMEGA-IR2C beam to reach material [see pic]

no heat shields

currently being pumped down

EVAP2 pumped down overnight.

IGP1 = 7e-7 Torr

HS water valves opened, no leaks detected.

TGHT will be ramped up to 1400C

TBHT will be ramped up to 230A


 Friday, October 24, 2014, 14:32

TBHT reached 230A, TGHT reached 1400C

Stepped TGHT up manually to 1600C; TGHT = 693A, 10.6V [see pic]


 Friday, October 24, 2014, 15:58

TGHT = 760A, 12.07V [local read back] = setpoint.

epics readback TGHT = 754.8A, 11.76V

OMEGA = 1700C


Friday, October 24, 2014, 16:26

OMEGA = 1800C

epics readback TGHT = 828.7A, 13.15V


Friday, October 24, 2014, 16:34

OMEGA = 1900C

epics readback TGHT = 899A, 14.53V


Friday, October 24, 2014, 16:46

OMEGA = 2000C

epics readback TGHT = 967A, 15.8V

MIKRON target spot on SiC = 1650C, e = 0.97

Target was heated up to 2000C and last for about 1.5 days before the right leg (ionizer points into the page) broke off. 

Interesting discovery...  The "yellowish" crystals are forming on the discs. 

Suspecting a phase transformation of 6H (hexagonal/- alpha SiC (hexagonal) polytype to 3C(cubic) - beta SiC

More study needs to be done... 

See elog # 168.

The leg of this target was repaired in the Machine shop. 

THIS TARGET WILL NOT BE USED ONLINE -  IT WILL BE USED FOR OFFLINE R&D PURPOSES.
