Thursday, January 21, 2021, 10:05: Anodeless Negative Bias On Surface Ion  Source, or ANBOSIS (still working on the acronym). installed to test energy spread vs position.

The SIS allow a more forgiving operation while calibrating such that other sources can have these type of measurements.

 Thursday, January 21, 2021, 10:43: Electrical connection make sense inside the source tray both with and without TIS. Anode confirmed to be on HV common through 9-pin.

Friday, January 22, 2021, 07:44: Power / Sources on.

Friday, January 22, 2021, 07:49: Reboot PLC / IOC again. Surface source page ok. Optics page still in white out.

Friday, January 22, 2021, 07:52: Controls to TGHT / TBHT non-responsive. 10 / 5 A on TGHT / TBHT @ 0 / 0 A on epics & the PS.

Friday, January 22, 2021, 08:15: Tested HV. OK on both EZL & BIAS w/ 500 V each, then back to 0 V. TGHT / TBHT still not responding.

AS

Friday, January 29, 2021, 09:52: TS checks ok. Fixed. TGHT /  TBHT @ 10 A each. BIAS / EE / EZL @ 500 / -200 / 300 V to check.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 09:53: Auto-ramping TGHT / TBHT to 350 / 150 A @ 2 A per min.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 10:05: BIAS / EE / EZL @ 30 /-1.5/13 kV.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 10:08: Lot's of sparking*** Reduce BIAS / EE / EZL to 20 / -1.5 / 10 kV.

 FM

Friday, January 29, 2021, 11:24: BIAS / EE / EZL @ 29 /-1.5/13 kV.. No Sparks. Ramping up to 30 kV in steps of 100V.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 11:28: Reached 30kV on bias. No sparks after 2 minutes. Previously, the sparks happened within seconds after reaching 30 kV, according to the striptool.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 11:41: There were  five inaudible sparks. They are likely occurring inside as the target-ion source is being heated. Small rise in vacuum occurred and then the spark started.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 11:42: BIAS / EE / EZL to 0.000 kV to allow outgassing

Friday, January 29, 2021, 12:44  Auto-ramping TGHT / TBHT to 500 / 200 A @ 4 A per min.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 13:32: TGHT/TBHT @500/200 A.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 13:44. Spark on top.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 13:48 : BIAS / EE / EZL @ 30 /-1.5/13 kV.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 13:49: Anode gets current limited even at 1 V.  Could this indicate a short, or that the anode is floating?

Friday, January 29, 2021, 13:53: Spark across extraction electrode spark gap.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 14:13: Auto-ramping TBHT to 225 A @ 3 A per min.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 14:32: 10 min ago, the IG6 timed out. Nothing tripped but the epics couldn't restarted. Manually turned Fil1 on controller but didn't work. Fil2 did the trick. Back to normal.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 14:42: Spark gap again. It turned the separator section yellow (except MB1)"

Friday, January 29, 2021, 15:08: Auto-ramping TGHT to 580 A @ 2 A per min. Good vac level set to 3.5e-7T

Friday, January 29, 2021, 15:17: Inaudible spark. First spark after 25 min.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 15:30: Playing with TBHT current. Couple of sparks when playing with the steerers and einzel lens. TGHT auto-ramp waiting for good vacuum.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 16:25: Vacuum reached bad vaccum level. Currentes were step back. No sparks for around 40 minutes.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 16:41: System seems to be dirty. It will likely take the weekend to reach nominal vacuum levels.

I will reduce the HV and keep the heaters on. I will keep an eye during the weekend.

Friday, January 29, 2021, 16:44: 50 minutes without sparks

Friday, January 29, 2021, 16:46:  BIAS / EE / EZL to 0.000 kV to allow outgassing during the weekend.

Saturday, January 30, 2021, 11:59: Vacuum has steadily decrease over time allowing the auto ramp-up routine to make progress.

Saturday, January 30, 2021, 12:00 IG1 @ 3.58e-6T . TGHT/TBHT @  566/230 A. All voltage still at 0 V.

Saturday, January 30, 2021, 12:56: TGHT/TBHT @ 580/230 A. 

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 09:32: TGHT/TBHT @ 580/230 A. IG1@2.59e-6T. 

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 10:48:  BIAS / EE / EZL @ 30 /-1.5/13 kV. No sparks on the way up. Beam is now noticeable on the wire scanners, When I first tried with colder target current no beam.

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 13:31: After around 3 hours, only two sparks have occurred.

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 13:54: Spark. All of them seem to be going to EZL. 

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 15:13: Spark. Separators optics turned yellow. 

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 15:38: Spark. 

Sunday, January 31, 2021, 16:11: Things were looking good so i  decided t o try  a mass scan , however a series of sparks started. I set all biases to 0 and stop the tests for today.
