Specific: Target 
Subject: T2-MK2 Target Changes & Return to Beamline 

On April 11th the T2-MK2 target was flushed with water, then overnight with air at 5psi supply pressure.  The target ladder was in Position 0 for this procedure.

On April 12th the target was pumped using a cold trap and the Varian leak detector for approximately 2 hours.

On April 13th pumping was restarted and the leak detector reached 0.0E-10 Torr*L/s with < 1.0E-3 Torr test port pressure.  A general helium spray was performed with a small response to the mid 10^-9 range and quick recovery (this target was in use all of the 2015 running period w/o any vacuum issues).  Plugs were removed from Positions 1 & 2.  The swagelok threads on the ladder were cleaned with a wire brush then pressurized air.  The sealing surfaces were cleaned using Scotchbrite then blown with air.  Threads and sealing surfaces were inspected with the Nikon level: some minor thread imperfects on the threads and a few small pits on the sealing surfaces were observed.  New 10cm beryllium targets were installed (Position 1:  Target "OCT.06#3",  Position 2: Target "#201").  A leak check was performed using 0.5s bursts of helium at supply pressure 3psi.  Helium was applied at all target positions, delta seal locations, and along the length of both bellows.  No responses observed that were greater than the initial leak check performed before the plugs were removed, therefore the target was deemed water leak tight and ready for use.

On April 14th position measurements for both new targets were taken as per Document-50194, which will be included in the target info sheet to be delivered to Operations.

On April 15th the target was returned to the beamline.  All services were attached, the cooling package started, and vacuum pumped down normally.

 

Photographs of the Position 4 beam spots as well as the target ladder after new target installation are attached.
