Monday, March 15, 2021, 16:09 Target and ion source ramped to 400A/330A this afternoon

Monday, March 15, 2021, 18:53 : Tune through to final RPMs but not optimized. 5e-8 on FC0. Will turn down target and ion source values to TGHT/TBHT 350/250 until tomorrow. BIAS/EZL/COIL/ANODE all off.

 

Tuesday, March 16, 2021, 15:04  Mike is finished with emittance meter controls so ramping everything back up and trying to get beam through.

 

Thursday, March 18, 2021, 18:06 : Vacuum has been rising slowly over the past 20hrs from 9.3e-7 to 9.9e-7. Everything has been up since Tuesday. No beam through emittance meter, though beam can be found on the regular test stand emittance meter. Just discovered that both voltage plates are plugged into positive power supplies so waiting for a controls fix on that then will retry.

 

Friday, March 19, 2021, 17:08 : Finally success. New emittance meter shows same results as the standard test stand emittance rig. Will continue testing new controls next week

Thursday, March 04, 2021, 08:43: Re taking some points from yesterday 

Took several mass scans and emittance scans


Friday, March 05, 2021,

Investigated beam composition at different temperatures, I couldn't find a peak that is affected by argon injection. species with m/1 above 50 u only appear with tght>580 and tbht>295. These values are a bit tricky to work on as the FEBIAD has melted before near these values.

I will continue mass scans, emittance, and efficiency measurements.  On the last day I will push towards higher temperatures.


Saturday, March 06, 2021,

Investigating beam composition. Mass scans and the parameter sweep on the dominant peaks both with and without gases.  THBT is at 315 A.

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 11:45: During a parameter scan, epics cut communication with my notebook. It seems like the HLA server might be down :/ 

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 12:32: Discussed with  Spencer, he was upgrading jaya. Now things are up and running gain. 

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 13:36:  Ar+++ observed now at mass ~13.33 u, with a current of 3e-10A.

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 16:32: TBHT to 325 A @ 1A/min  

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 20:06: Emittance measurements for same efficiency parameters of anode, coil. The tail of the emittance gets larger on some combinations. 

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 20:07: TBHT to 330 A @ 1A/min  

Sunday, March 07, 2021, 20:22: After increasing the TBHT to 330 A, the anode leakage current started to drop, this hasn't happened before. The TBHT  voltage look stable so I don't think the cathode is failing ...yet

Tuesday, March 09, 2021, 19:26: TBHT to 370 @ 1A/min.

Tuesday, March 09, 2021, 19:32: TBHT voltage increasing but not the current. Increasing the TBHT voltage from 3.5 to 4 V. 

Tuesday, March 09, 2021, 20:17:  358 A is stable, 359 A is a bit jumpy, but 360 A is quite jumpy.

Tuesday, March 09, 2021, 20:29: CG1A reached 1 T, tapping down from 363 to 361. 

Wednesday, March 10, 2021, 00:20: It has been quite challenging to reach 370 A on the TBHT, the highest current reached is 368 A. At this current, it seems that an efficiency flattening has definitely started.

Wednesday, March 10, 2021, 00:21: Bringing TBHT to 325 A @ 2A/min

After a spark and during the last bit of the scan, it seems the anode shorted. The source is dead :/

Tuesday, February 23, 2021, 22:17: All afternoon and evening running my code to get systematic measurements. They are still going but in summary:

For TGHT=580 A and TBHT=290 A, the temperature estimation is 1740 C, which is extremely cold for a FEBIAD. This explains why with this assembly I need to go around 310 to get something reasonable.

Tuesday, February 23, 2021, 22:52: Between 100 and 200 V the current always increases with coil current  > 50 A. The maximum increase factor is around 4. As the voltage increases the current stops increases at coil >50A.

Wednesday, February 24, 2021, 15:02 : Argon signal is quite noticeable as roughing the gas lines drop the current down to 0 .

Wednesday, February 24, 2021, 18:55: Emittance scans have failed for both argon and m/q=28. It might be related to the very low intensity of the beam. FC0 reads ~10 nA at TBHT=310.

Thursday, February 25, 2021, 14:04: Efficiency is decreasing as TBHT current increases. This seems to be correlated to the apparent reduction in estimated temperature coming from the anode current readback.

This could indicate that the increase in TBHT current heats up the TGHT-TBHT system but given this is a HP target, maybe the heat is dissipated through the target.

On previous tests both at the isac test stand and the evaporator 2, I have seen the effect of tght current in cathode temperature.

I will lower the TGHT current and I will keep increasing the TBHT current to see what happens.

With the colder target I estimated a maximum cathode temperature of 1820 coming from TBHT current=330 A.

Despite this being an estimated temperature from the anode drain current, the fact that the maximum total source beam current is only some tens of  nA, indicate very few electrons.

I finally managed tom take emittance measurements, so far the  parameters on the emittance rig page were not compatible with the tune I am using.

 Monday, February 22, 2021, 11:3: the only way for this instabilities to occur is with a short between ground and HV. No such touch is occurring inside.

Monday, February 22, 2021, 11:37: Instability reacts with punching the cage, that is, shaking up the cage causes the instability to decrease.

Will re-accommodate the cage as it seemed slightly crooked, hence the motivation to punch it.

Vacuum side

Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 13:42: The gas lines inside have been check. The inlet of the calibrated leak was not tighten properly and hence the large leak observed.  FIXED.

Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 13:42: The only leak remaining INSIDE the vacuum is the one on the FT side which for 200kPa is around 7e-6 atm cc /s. At this pressure, the undesired leak  is leak rate is around 1 %  of the one getting into the source.


Atmosphere side

Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 14:49: Some minor leaks in connection points around  1e-6 atm cc/s. Not much I can do without changing all connection to glands with metal gaskets.

Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 14:50: SV5 was leak check on its own, the gas goes through quite noticeable, no need to sniff with leak detector. SV1 leak checked and it works.

Wednesday, February 17, 2021, 16:53:  The Neon bottle seems to be empty. The leak on the lines were not as bad to have this happened. I suspect when squeezing the bottle I rotated the gauge enough to cause a leak there.

Wednesday, February 17, 2021, 17:00: Using a full nitrogen bottle, I confirmed that rotating the two-stage regulator causes a leak.

Hi Fernando,

  There are no plans for Cu-LCW system to be switched off today.  I believe they are still working on correcting the issue that caused the trip two days ago.  Once it is corrected and we are ready to switch to the secondary pump, the switch over "should" be relatively invisible with possibly a slight drop in line pressure.

Friday, February 12, 2021, 10:07: In order to trouble shoot the ISAC TS, I  let the sparks to continue. Initially, they occurred in the extraction electrode spark gap and were both visible and audible. However, they stop and the instabilitiy was present.

I rise the voltage again and let the spark happen for a longer period of time.

I saw how the collimator wire on the far back of the source tray was moving as if a hurricane was inside, which is very strange. I followed up the wire and I saw how it was sparking to something (see attached photo)

I say something because from the angle is difficult to say if it was going to the chamber itself or to the HS waterlines. Both scenarios are concerning

First of all the collimator is never biased and it if any case the jacket  (MHV cable) is on ground ground

In case the discharge happened from wire to the chamber, then the collimator wire was charging up, it is extremely important o note that the jacketed cable goes outside the box very close to one of the turbos.

In the other scenario where the discharge was happening from the wire to the HS waterlines, that is, HV to ground, the simply creating a clearance should be enough. In this case as well is relevant to know that this jackted cable leaves the farday cage.

I will create clearance from collimator wire to HS waterlines.

Friday, February 12, 2021, 11:06: Inside the blue rack,  I could hear ticks that match the discharges, probably  the collimator PS is there. Will check later with things  off.

Tuesday, February 09, 2021, 13:52: DI water flow returned.

Control room contacted. DI water loss due to a "seamless" pump change over for the DI water supply & mechanical services. The supply was transferred over to a new pump which overloaded and failed. They had to switch back over to the (old) pump. Mechanical services will still try to do the switch over again. Either tomorrow or the day after. Running the TS up to 580A until then is not recommended.  Control room to update tomorrow morning.

After inspecting the ion source, and revising the electrical connections, I suspect that the TBHT was floating all the time and only when it was in contact with the plasma electrode it held HV.

When the plasma electrode was removed, there was no reference whatsoever, and the ions were not extracted.

It seems then that the resistor R4 (ISK4562D) is necessary to provide a reference to the TBHT  in a similar way R1 provides one to extraction electrode.

Tuesday, February 09, 2021, 20:52: Installing R4. If the anode works this time, it will be worth checking why this reference is necessary. From the electric diagram, the chassis ground should be HV ground.

Saturday, February 06, 2021, 12:30: The previous tune is not working anymore. I have to re-tune . EZL now helps to have a better tune, no need for extreme steering

Well well well, after several scans I observed the following:

  • Bias readback changes by 14  V. This doesn't necessarily means this is the absolute value, it could be better or worse.
  • Magnet oscillates around 1 gauss, enough to move the beam to the sides.
  • Different settings on the rpm scans does not yield to different results in the data
  • Intensity variations causes one of the rpms scans to be lower or higher.
  • Total source scans are always mirrored as long as nothing else varies.
  • Separated ion scans varied wildly. No two consecutive scans are the same. Likely a combination of Bias voltage and magnet current ripples.
  • Following Baartman's proceedure on a cherry-picked data set, I estimated an energy spread of 11.75 eV. To be discussed with him

 Saturday, February 06, 2021, 21:02: On the way down, TBHT 150  A and when TGHT cross 480 A the anode came back to life. Wonder if this could help diagnose deflection on the surface ion source (might be helpful for the P2N)

Sunday, February 07, 2021, 11:26:  Auto ramp-up TGHT/TBHT to 560/210 A @ 2A/min 

 Sunday, February 07, 2021, 11:31: Once again, the latest tune did not work. I suspect the ion source deformation varied from thermal cycle to thermal cycle. With a crooked beam, the EZL will send the beam off-center and the quad will not compensate that. The double peak observed in the beam size scan indicates that the focusing is not correct.

Sunday, February 07, 2021, 18:41: With Baartman RPM scans, the x axis in in cm, as verified with an emittance scan.

New parameters on the emittance rig for this tune. Offset from 40 to -50. This shifts the phase space in the y axis such that is visible on the plot. 

Even in a different mass, the position scans on the dispersion plan are not reproducible.

Sunday, February 07, 2021, 18:52: Auto-cooling TGHT/TBHT to 400/150 A  @ 6A/min / 3 A/min, respectively.

 Sunday, February 07, 2021, 18:53: Biases to 0.000 kV

I think the fast cool-down rate prevented the TBHTto be able to sustained voltage.

Sunday, February 07, 2021, 19:35: Auto-cooling TGHT/TBHT to 0 A @ 3A/min 

TBHT able to sustain voltage once TBHT=191 A and TGHT=372 A
