 Wednesday, March 29, 2017, 11:37: RGA on

Wednesday, March 29, 2017, 13:51: Water package on


Thursday, March 30, 2017, 08:50: Restarted chiller. OP3 fault on both VFDs.

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 10:18: Roughing

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 16:02: Configured EE to conditioning mode. All power supplies for SIS operation was checked to be working earlier.

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 16:06: BIAS / EL 10 / 5 kV and 0.02 / 0.04 mA

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 16:10: BIAS / EL210 / 10 kV and 0.03 / 0.06 mA

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 16:11: IG1 at 7.8E-7 T, IG2 at 2.3E-6 T

Thursday, March 30, 2017, 16:21: No sparking. Ramping down for the day


Friday, March 31, 2017, 08:32: BIAS / EL 20 / 10 kV and 0.03 / 0.06 mA

Friday, March 31, 2017, 08:32: IG1 at 4.2E-7 T, IG2 at 1.4E-6 T

Friday, March 31, 2017, 08:45: BIAS / EL 25 / 12.5 kV and 0.04 / 0.08 mA. Some minor vacuum responses around 24 kV

Friday, March 31, 2017, 10:03: BIAS current was limiting at 26 kV after EPICS restart. Updated limit

Friday, March 31, 2017, 10:10: BIAS / EL 30 / 15 kV and 0.04 / 0.09 mA. Vacuum and current responses when increasing BIAS.

Friday, March 31, 2017, 10:54: BIAS / EL 35 / 17.5 kV and 0.05 / 0.10 mA.

Friday, March 31, 2017, 11:24: BIAS / EL 40/ 20 kV and 0.05 / 0.11 mA.

Friday, March 31, 2017, 11:43: BIAS / EL 45/ 22.5 kV and 0.06 / 0.13 mA.

 Friday, March 31, 2017, 13:47: No sparks for ~90 min. Ramping down HV

Friday, March 31, 2017, 13:58: Starting auto-ramping heaters to 100 / 100 A at 1 A/min. Good/bad vacuum at 3E-6 and 5E-6 T on IG2. EE to 1500 V

Friday, March 31, 2017, 14:03: BIAS / EL / EE at 30 / 15 / 1.5 kV and 0.04 / 0.09 / 1.5 mA


Saturday, April 01, 2017, 10:58: Continue auto-ramping to 440 A / 200 A.

Saturday, April 01, 2017, 17:17: IG1 / IG2 to 1.7E-6 and 3.6E-6 T at 440 A. Reduced manually to 430 A to limit outgassing.

Saturday, April 01, 2017, 18:03: Discovered TP2 had tripped off. Likely causing "increased outgassing" above.

Saturday, April 01, 2017, 18:12: TP2 back at speed.

Saturday, April 01, 2017, 23:25 : TP2 fault from spark. Restarting. Ramping down heaters.


Sunday, April 02, 2017, 06:45: Found source to be tripped on water flow TGHT at around 1:15 am. Vacuum and water flow otherwise ok. Set source to 0. To be investigated Monday. 


Monday, April 03, 2017, 11:05: The paddle wheel on the TGHT line was not turning this morning. After running water through a bypass an reconnecting to the module, flow was restored, but it appeared to be at a relatively low rate.

Monday, April 03, 2017, 12:00: BIAS / EL / EE at 30 / 15 / 1.5 kV and 0.03 / 0.09 / 1.5 mA

Monday, April 03, 2017, 12:18: Tested TGHT / TBHT to 20 / 10 A.

Monday, April 03, 2017, 12:18: Increased EE to 2 kV and 2.0 mA
