July-06, 2015. Chad , Grant and I did the bubble test on R,U water blocks. We suspected the leak on the R,U circuit is from C seals on the water blocks so we did this test first. I applied both air and helium to R,U circuit , Chad applied snoop soap on the R,U water blocks.The air and helium pressure was increased from 40 psi to 90 psi Max step by step.Chad did not see any bubbles on the water blocks during the test. Since we did not find the leak source, we decided to do vacuum helium check on the all joints and c-seals of the R,U lines later.  Finally, We found the leak by vacuum helium spray the day after this bubble test. See other e-log.

TM2 optics tray build is continuing. Going well. Hope to have assembly and alignment finished by Friday.

TM2 old source tray and TM4 optic tray are stored together in vault tray#9. The fielding measurement at SHC post 0.5 meter distance:
 

March 1st 2019, maximum 14.6msv/hr, minimum 4.78 msv/hr

Nov 2nd 2020, max 7.11m sv/hr, min 2.5msv/hr.

I did a TM2 no target electrical check at SHC this morning. A to RU at 500v  is 250K which is low.   anode- x pin is dead short to 60kv bias. RU is dead short to 60kv bias( as before).   see attachment

Today 55kV was applied to TM2 and held for over 1 hour with the EINZEL at 27.5kV. There were 2 sparks and the current was unstable at this voltage but this test should be considered a success. Once again while bringing the voltage up the canbus continued to be a problem. After successfully passing the test I continued to raise the BIAS and EINZEL. A spark at 57kV tripped a controller for the vacuum and the canbus. As stated before I believe the module will reach 60kV and that there is an interaction between the EINZEL and the BIAS. I am not certain if that interaction is internal or external to the module. Attached is a screen shot and the dumped data.

All water blocks seals and joints have been leak checked. No leak has been found on any of them. See attachment

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.

TM2 new source tray has been remotely transferred into SHC successfully. The transfer table has been moved back to TH within 1 hour.  I swiped the table and found about 150counts contamination. It is much better comparing to last time using since we removed this table out of SHC as quick as we can. The table will be cleaned with windex  after Target Hall is surveyed.

 TM2 was moved by myself and David from the SHC to the TCS. Move went well. Curiously the fields on the module were measured higher than the previous measurement (now ~5.8mSv/hour) .

TM2 has been moved from TCS to SHC. The move is smooth.

TM2 was remotely moved from the South Hot Cell to SW Silo. Reading at SHC = 89.8 mSv/h. The move was smooth.

TM2 was moved from ITE to SHC with Ta#68 target. During the move, a railing was lightly bumped by the corner of the module - no obvious damage or issues have been observed. Otherwise, the move was smooth.

I leak checked TM2 at conditioning station this morning. All air to vacuum seals on the top of the module are good. All water lines are pressured with 60 psi helium for minutes each. One of the tube heater + water line( 2lines for tube heater + for supply and return) has a huge response on 60 psi helium pressurizing. The leak rate went from 6.0xE-9atm.cc/sec to maximum leak rate in 5 seconds and I saw a pressure increasing either. when I pressurize the other side tube heater + line ,the leak detector also had a response,but it is slower than first side .Since the top of the water adaptor isn't sealed , so I think the leak should be in one line only. All other water lines are leak tight since I didnt see any obvious response on leak detector at 5 to 6x E-9 atm.cc/sec which is very low on leak rate. 

The following water circuits in TM2 are connected at TCS and running with water now : target oven+ - ( one circuit), tube heater+ -( one circuit), coil1 and 2(one circuit), MSP, and EE. The HS and window are open circuits now so they can not be supplied with water.  During the check before we knew HS and window circuit were close to perfectly sealed. So, The test result should not be affected without them

The TCS water pumps are started at 8:28 AM. All TCS high vacuum gauge readings are getting slight better after that.

Anders and I finished the most part of TM2 water lines helium pressure test yesterday.I list the system parameters and test result as below:

TCS  IG1: 9.8XE-8 torr,  TCS IG2: 9.6Xe-7 torr, TCS IG1S: 3.5XE-9 torr, TCS CG1A: 10 m torr

Helium pressure: 70 psi. Test time: 5 minutes for each individual circuit.  1 hour for all  lines together test.

 Leak detector base leak rate:0.0 X E -9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0X E-4 torr. LD was always restored or closely restored to the bottom  scale after each individual test.

The HS and Window lines will be tested later with new target installed and  window line gaskets restored.

Leak checked TM2 service cap at TCS. helium pressure checked containment box window and HS cooling lines.  No leak on service cap and waterlines.

TCS: TP1, TP2 and TP1S are started.

TM2 is moved from TCS to silo this morning. The move is smooth.

Argon venting is done.
