Thursday, July 07, 2011, 15:43:  Begin target assembly. 

Friday, July 08, 2011, 14:24: assembly completed.  Std stds added for test-stand: Li, Na, Rb, K, Cs.

Friday, July 15, 2011, 09:09:  Target currently in test-stand.  Will come out on Monday next week.  Need to add std salts + Be. 

Monday, July 18, 2011, 10:58:  Target removed from test-stand.  Std salts added (Li, Na, Rb, K, Cs) & Be (as requested by Jens).  Maico D.V will do a final inspection on the target before it goes into the hotcell

Ta#37-LP-SIS (w.o#38634-5)

Filled with 400 Ta foils (25/pk), 4.0 cm in length.  Total mass + Ta wire = 42.32g.  The heat shield was assembled and tested, and the standard salts were added.  Target was installed in the test stand on Jun 1, 2011.  

Fri Jun 17 09:19:46 2011: The following salts have been added: Li, Na, Rb @ 10uL, K @ 5uL, Cs @ 15uL, and Be @ 10uL.

Wednesday, July 06, 2011, 14:08:  TM1 is still under repairing.  It was tested at the test-stand. Target is on the shelve and ready to be used.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 15:58:  Salt added before going into the hotcell: Li,Na,Rb,K,Cs.  Target is ready to be used for TM1 test.

Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 10:48:  It was found that the extraction electrode had some arc marking on it (see attachment: EE).  Investigating... 

Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 12:51: After further investigation on the extraction electrode,  we found some black and blue(or green) deposit on the outside surface and inside of the EE.  This deposit is most likely copper oxide, which formed during the HV test.  The EE was removed, and wiped clean with methanol.  (see attachment: EE_CuO).  This target will be used in TM1. 

Friday, August 26, 2011, 09:48:  As per Friday Aug 26 TIS meeting, bNMR is very satisfied with the beam; the count rate is very stable.

After the target was finished and transferred into the hotcell, it was found that the target broke apart from the center block.  This might have happened during the end of the target cooldown. See link for more details:

Details about Ta Hp surface, w.o#38295-4 (spare):

This target was built as a spare.

Note: Left side target arm replaced, Nov 18, 2010.  Weld prep on centre block misaligned.  (Marik has more details about this).

Packs of Ta foils were prepared by JW. 

Target was filled with 400 of 0.025mm foils (25 foils/pk) in 4.0cm length. 

Total Mass of 16 packs of Ta foils + Ta wires = 42.70g.  

See attachment#1 for the measurement.
