TCS MP1 is replaced due to poor performance( system shows unstable and high reading on TCSCG1A and high TP1,TP2 current draw) . The pump is edward 15i scroll pump. Since vacuum group has no same spare pump, i have to use SMP roughing pump SMP:MP1 which is a  same pump to replace it.. After the replacement ,the TCS:CG1A and TP1, TP2 current draw are back to normal. The original TCSMP1 was surveyed. Swipes on intake and exhaust port are 300 counts and 1000counts. RAM contact field measurement are from 0.2 to 0.5 usv/hr. It is stored in TH. We will try to refurbish this pump first and use as for SMP:MP1. If we can not refurbish it, a new 15i pump will be purchased for SMP:MP1.

2023-05-31: Opened pump tip seal chamber and swiped chamber inside. The contamination level :1200 counts on 44-2.  The tip seal and tip seal chamber o ring need to be replaced . Checked gas ballast knob. The O-ring inside knob is in good condition. Checked exhaust port o-ring. it is in good condition. spare part PO will be issued soon.

2023-06-14:Tip seals and o-ring have been replaced on original TCS:MP1. After, it was tested at TCS for 48 hours. The pump is much quiet on operation, and the pump body temperature is mild. The final  inlet pressure this pump could get with TCS PV1 closed is about 23 mtorr.  The result is good. I installed it back to TCS vacuum station and reinstalled SMP:MP1 back to SMP vacuum station.  

 TM2 with TiC#6 was connected in ITW (FEBIAD), turbo pumps were started successfully.

 Gas lines pumped down at electric room for TM2 at ITW is done, leak rate 0.0e -8 <1.0e -3 T P pressure

Conditioned TM2 up to 48kV in ITW. Some sparks and current is not very stable. Drawing about 178uA at 48kV.

TM2 SiC#6 has been disconnected in ITW. See check list

TM2 TiC#6 post run electrical check has been done at TCS. See attachment

Nb#10 has been installed on TM2 . electrical and leak check on HS line are good. See attachment.

TM2 Nb#10 has been connect at TCS. TCS water system and vacuum system have been started. Everything looks ok so far. TCS Faraday cage is secured for TM2 conditioning at TCS.

PIE on TiC#6 was done in the NHC. The target assembly looked brand new when we took it out, no heating spots or deposits (pictures on docushare). Online we measured a 400kOhm connection between TGHT-TBHT-COIL to HV common (TGHT and COIL shorted in TM2 service tray) and anode was unstable above ~300V. After the module move and before the target removal David found TGHT-TBHT-COIL was a dead short to HV common and the anode was at 39kOhms to HV common.

1. Wanted to see if the TGHT-TBHT-COIL short was on the COIL. Measured with ohmmeter the COIL lines to HS and got about 700Ohms. But with the target lying down the COIL lines drop and touch the heat shield so to do this measurement Chad had to lift the lines, which could cause them to touch something else. So not sure how reliable this measurement was. It jumped around a lot, saw 0L occasionally.

2. Measured both target legs and tantalum gas line to HS, got about 5kOhms repeatedly using the ohmmeter.

3. Meggered across the gas line insulator to the gas line going into the target and got open circuit at 250V, so the gas line wasn't coated.

4. Target container looked vaguely red in the areas where the target material was, otherwise still no deposits on the inside. The container was not overly crystalized as seen on the legs and end caps.

5. Some sparking marks on the EE and some slightly asymmetric deposits

Continuing Aug. 22 2023:

6. Found what looks like a hole in the insulation on the COIL, maybe the cause of our short? Found a corresponding line mark on the copper plates that hold the coil down but not sure if it is related. Pics on docushare.

7. Grid looks perfectly new. Where was that current going?

8. Copper plates that hold coil were loose and bolts that hold coil in just fell out as well.

9. What can be seen of the anode wire looks good.

 TM2 with new target Nb#10 was moved to ITW from TCS and re-connected in pit. TPs are running at their full speed. 

 TM2 with target Nb#10 was disconnected in ITW yesterday for beam production issue investigation.

 TM2 with new target Nb#11 has been E/L checked sitting on NHC.

 TM2 with new target Nb#11 replaced has been electric checked one more time in ITW.

 Module was connected yesterday and all turbo pumps are running at their top speed. 

 TM2 with target Nb#11 has been disconneted in ITW. The HS line was purged with Nitrogen in station. 

 An electric checked right after TM2 was moved from ITW. 

 TM2 with new target Ta#66 had an electrical check and leak check on SHC. 

 TM2 with new target Ta#66 was connected in ITW. 

TM2 has been disconnected in ITW. All water lines are nitrogen purged. Filled 60 psi argon to all Tm2 water lines for module storage in winter shut down.

ITW primary and secondary vacuum vessel leak check and TM2 water lines helium pressure test are done today. No major concern. see attachment for small air to vacuum leak we found.  TM2 water lines helium pressure test is fine.   HS and window line leak rate are 1.4Xe-8 atm.cc/sec. all other water lines are below 3.0XE-9atm.cc/sec.
