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.

 TCS water system worked fine overnight. I turned off TCS water system at 6:16 AM this morning. Start of purging TM2 water lines for helium pressure test again this morning.

2016-4-28 7:58AM. Disconnected TM2 water lines at TCS. Purged them with compression air each for 5 minutes. 

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.

  I switched off TCS and TM2 vacuum pumps. The TM2 will be disconnected at TCS today and moved to silo on next Monday.

TM#2 was moved to the SW Silo from the Conditioning Station. TM#3 was from from the NW Silo to the Conditioning Station.

TM#3 was moved from the conditioning station to the NE Silo. TM#2 was moved from the SW Silo to the South hot cell.

Ta#48 has been installed onto TM2. Also new window gaskets were installed.

High current fasteners were torqued to 130 in lbs. Shutter side of the containment box recieved new fasteners.

Chad and I leak checked the TM2 HS and window lines after new target installation.  The window line was very easy pumped down on LD. But, The HS line only could pumped to 2-3 torr at first. Chad changed the VCR gaskets on HS line(target). It solved the problem. The LD could pumped  both of Window and HS lines to the bottom scale. Chad sprayed lots helium around the VCR joints.  No leak has been found. WE will do helium pressurizing test on them at TCS.

Electrical check of TM#2 with Ta#48 attached. See the attached PDF for details.

TM#2 with Ta#48 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

I changed TCS tank top flange seal(o-ring 42.00"ID X 0.275" DIA) this morning before TM2 was moved to TCS.

TM2 and TCS vacuum system has been connected. I started all turbo pumps. Everything is good so far.

These two lines are passed helium pressure test this morning. The LD base leak rate 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. The base pressure 0.0 X E-4 torr. Helium pressure 70 psi. applied helium to both line for 5minutes each. No response on LD during the test.

The HV  cover is installed on to TM2 after the connections. The HV key is returned back to B2 level. The TCS Faraday cage is locked.

 Monday, May 16, 2016, 13:20: BIAS/EL/EE 30 / 15 / 1.5 kV

Monday, May 16, 2016, 13:20: Ramping TGHT / TBHT to 580 / 220 A at 2 A/min. IG2 1E-6 / 2E-6 T

Monday, May 16, 2016, 15:45: Paused ramping.

Monday, May 16, 2016, 15:00: Resumed ramping

Monday, May 16, 2016, 16:23: Stopped ramping for the day. TGHT / TBHT at 310 / 220 A. FC at 6.2E-7 A

Tuesday, May 17, 2016, 08:00: Continue ramping.

Wednesday, May 18, 2016, 09:40: BIAS / EL / EE to 35 / 17.5 1.7 kV

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 04:07: BIAS dropped to 0. Likely caused by a power bump.

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 08:05: BIAS returned to 35 kV. Increased EL to 22 kV to maximize FC current.

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 08:11: TBHT to 230 A

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 08:22: Ramping down TGHT / TBHT

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 10:41: BIAS / EL / EE off

Thursday, May 19, 2016, 14:00: TGHT / TBHT off

Friday, May 20, 2016, 14:39: RGA off.

Disconnected  TM2 at TCS(vacuum system still on). Purged all TM2 water lines for helium pressure test.

LD base LR: 0.0 X E-9. Base pressure:0.0 X E-4. 70 psi helium. 5 minutes each circuit.

The bigger leak found on MSP before was gone. Leak rate are smaller on all circuits  comparing to before. 

The leak rate on 1 hour total lines test at 70 psi is better also which is 6.6 XE-8 atm.cc/sec this time. 

The TCS and TM2 are still under vacuum without venting

Weekly update the TH schedules. See attachments 1, 2,3.

TM#2 with Ta#48 has been moved from conditioning station to the west target station.
