Helium pressure test on TM2 all water circuits is done. 70 psi helium , 10 minutes test time. Leak detector :base leak rate 0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0Xe-4torr. No any response on LD during the test. All TM2 water circuit are leak free.

 Thursday, March 28, 2019, 12:40: Found valve to expansion tank TCS:TK2 to be closed. Opened valve. This allow air to escape out of the system and the water system is running as expected again


Friday, March 29, 2019, 11:15: Changed EE to conditioning mode

Friday, March 29, 2019, 11:35: BIAS / EZL 20 / 10 kV

Friday, March 29, 2019, 13:47: BIAS / EZL: 25 / 12.5 kV

Friday, March 29, 2019, 16:09: BIAS / EZL: 30  / 15 kV

Friday, March 29, 2019, 17:23: No sparks for >60 min

Friday, March 29, 2019, 17:26: BIAS / EZL off


Monday, April 01, 2019, 08:13: BIAS / EZL: 30  / 15 kV

Monday, April 01, 2019, 08:33 BIAS / EZL: 35  / 17.5 kV

Monday, April 01, 2019, 09:00: Sparking at about 37.5 kV BIAS. Lowered below 20 kV to stop. Now sparking at around 20 kV

Monday, April 01, 2019, 10:00: BIAS/EZL 22 / 20 kV. Occasional sparking on BIAS as voltage is increased.

Monday, April 01, 2019, 10:05: Change of strategy. Will heat target to bake out the vacuum before continuing with HV conditioning.

Monday, April 01, 2019, 10:43:

BIAS / EZL / EE: 15 / 7.5 / 1.5 kV
COIL / ANODE: 10 A / 200 V
Ramping TGHT / TBHT at 1 A/min. Good/bad vacuum (IG2): 1E-6 / 2E-6 Torr

Monday, April 01, 2019, 19:16: TGHT / TBHT: 500 / 270 A. Vacuum increasing. IG1/2 1.2E-7 / 1.4E-6 Torr


Monday, April 08, 2019, 09:28: BIAS / EZL: 20 / 10 kV (some periods of multiple sparks)

Monday, April 08, 2019, 10:28: BIAS / EZL: 30 / 15 kV (some periods of multiple sparks)

Monday, April 08, 2019, 11:24: 3 sparks for the last 60 min

Monday, April 08, 2019, 14:43: BIAS / EZ: 40 / 20 kV (after two periods of sparking around 39 kV requiring voltage to be reduced below 30 kV to recover)

Monday, April 08, 2019, 15:57: Two sparks in 70 min


Tuesday, April 09, 2019, 12:40: BIAS / EZL 40 / 20 kV with >90 min without sparking

Tuesday, April 09, 2019, 16:00: BIAS / EZL 48 / 24 kV

Tuesday, April 09, 2019, 16:07: Sparking tripped TPs and IG1S, then power supplies.


Tuesday, April 16, 2019, 16:41: BIAS / EZL 50 / 25 kV for 1 hour without sparking.


Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 15:23 : Continued without problems to 50 kV earlier, but sparks tripped off vacuum just above 50kV. Continue later.
