TM#4 with UC#14 was moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.  Here are the results of the electrical check of the module with the UC#14 target while at the hot cell.

 Wednesday, November 25, 2015, 15:36: RGA on

Thursday, November 26, 2015, 09:55: PS energized. EE connected to power supply.

Thursday, November 26, 2015, 11:41: Applied some current and voltage to all power supplies. All looks good.

Some sparking around 5 kV. Turned out to be a bad cable connection. Fixed with David W.

Thursday, November 26, 2015, 15:04: BIAS/EL/EE 20 / 15 1.5 kV

Thursday, November 26, 2015, 15:43: Handed TCS over to ISAC operations

 Target heated over the weekend. EE went into current limiting (down to ~100 V) a while after the target was at temperature.

Monday, November 30, 2015

Target conditioned by ISAC operators to 30 kV without any problems.

EE current limit increased to about 26 mA in an attempt to recover. Cooling down target to investigate.

TM4 vacuum has been connected in TCS. All vacuum pumps were started yesterday. The pumping down of TM4 and TCS are good so far.

I did helium pressure test on TM4 HS line at TCS this morning.  70psi helium 3 minutes, 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec base leak rate. No response. No leak.

TM4 has been connected at TCS. The water system is started. The TCS HV cover for TM4 is installed also. Basically, The TM4 is ready for conditioning.

Weekly update TH schedule according to changes. see attachment 1,2 .

Update TH schedule before the weekend. see attachment 3,4

I turned off TCS vacuum and water pumps. The TSC and TM4 are still under vacuum condition.

 After conditioning over the weekend the EE developed a short. This was confirmed by measuring the resistance between EE and Heat Shield on the module yesterday.

Thursday, December 10, 2015, 13:17: Roughing

Thursday, December 10, 2015, 14:56: Started TP1S

Thursday, December 10, 2015, 15:59: Bypass applied on IG2

Thursday, December 10, 2015, 15:59: IG2 / IG1S 5.5E-5 T

Thursday, December 10, 2015, 16:01: RGA ON

Friday, December 11, 2015, 09:24 : IG2 / IG1S 7.5E-6 / 5.4E-6 T

Friday, December 11, 2015, 16:54: IG2 off for the weekend. Vacuum at 6.5 and 4.4E-6 Torr

Monday, December 14, 2015, 08:57: IG2 switched on.

Friday, December 18, 2015, 11:40: IG2 off for the weekend. Vacuum at 2.0E-6 and 8.9E-7 Torr 

Tuesday, December 22, 2015, 15:11: RGA off

Monday, January 11, 2016, 12:50: RGA off

 It was found that the conversion from voltage to vacuum (Torr) in EPICS is not correct for the XGS-600 controllers in use at the TCS. EPICS did not correspond to local values displayed on the controller. An e-fault has been submitted.

 EPICS conversion updated and corrected by Mike Rowe.

2016 Winter shut down target hall schedule. See attachments1,2.

 update the schedule weekly. Everything is on time so far. see attachment 3,4.

Update the schedule according to beam new beam schedule and target process. see attachment 5,6

I stopped the conditioning station vacuum pumps. The CS is still under vacuum without venting.

Update Schedule according to changes.See attachment1, 2.

 Re-post it after some minor correction See attachment 3,4.

TM#2 with no target has been moved to the conditioning station from the south hot cell.

I would like to post the spreadsheet of target hall schedule for beam schedule 130(Apr to Sep) first. The MS project of TH schedule for  beam schedule 130 is under construction, and will be posted later.

TM2 vacuum system has been connected at TCS. Started roughing pump. Everything is good so far.

Electrical checks of the TM#2 with the old SiC#32 and without the target. See attached PDFs.

TM2 has been helium pressure tested in ITW and TCS. They are both tested with 70psi helium, each circuit for 3minutes. 

The leak detector base leak rate: 0.0X E-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0 xE-4 torr  for both ITW and TCS. The test results are:

 2016-11-24: Checked again and added result into this elog.  No essential change has been found. MSP still has the biggest leak rate. David
