The evaporator was used for the processing the NiO target for 8 days and it was discovered today that there was a puddle of water underneath the
chiller.

The source of the poor vacuum in the backing line seems to be related to a dirty filter. We will try to find a replacement filter next week.
The problem seem to have started September 17th, when backing preassure CG1A went from 40 mTorr to 130 mTorr. CG1B remained around 30 mTorr.

A Ta foil is placed in the target boat with separate slots for each endcap [same as elog 200]
The target boat is wrapped with 3-layers of Ta-heat shield.

The endcaps are stacked together with a punched out disc of graphite foil placed in between each
endcap for separation so endcaps won't fuse together.
