The target assembly did not pass the megger test between anode and heat shield after the previous conditioning. The AlN insulators were found to have failed during the conditioning. The coil insulation was burnt. AlN insulators and anode ware replaced.

Rick and John installed the ITE-TM4-SiC#27-HP-SIS-May2012 in the Test Stand. Pumping down.

Today: did a mass scan at 580A on TGHT and 230A on TBHT at 30kV. Found some A/q units discrepancies on the mass scan page. It may be a hall probe problem:  under investigations.

Uploaded the testing file on Docushare: http://documents.triumf.ca/docushare/dsweb/View/Collection-8539/Document-56575

Shutting down the ISAC TS for the planned outage on Dec 22.

Shut down TSGTP1A due to noise (possibly from bearings) after consulting Edi.

There was a short between the gas line and the heat shield - as the gas line insulator was not tied to the heat shield. A Ta-wire was used to tie the gas line and keep it from touching the heat shield.

Tuesday, February 20, 2024, 14:20: TS to wired to Cathode BIAS mode as per ISK4563D.

Monday, March 11, 2024, 13:59: Power supply polarity switched to negative.

Switched to Anode mode on March 28 including polarity. The old calibrated leak was also re-installed.

Emittance meter number 2 ready for beam shortly - installed and pumping down.

No beam found by Thursday evening, but beam seems to be coming out much differently than last time. Will check on emittance meter functionality and try to re-tune later.

Ramping things down for the next couple days.

Saturday, April 03, 2021, 10:41 :

Source heating ramped back up, everything back on. Will try to straighten out steering then see if I can get things back in the previous positions.

Saturday, April 03, 2021, 14:59 :

Nothing seems to be working, will vent the beamline and remove the slit.

Saturday, April 03, 2021, 15:36 :

Apparently closing the valve started a vacuum leak that tripped everything in the source. I noticed within the first minute and ramped everything back up, maybe too quickly....

Have now put everything in a holding state, will resume tomorrow.

Sunday, April 04, 2021, 14:17 :

Found everything off again this morning. Ramping back up in the hopes that I can get something done before the whole system trips again. The trips look like water leaks again.

Uninstalled the slit and left it in the bottom of the vacuum box. Swapped the window to the computer side for convenience. Seal on the other side on the CF flange is a bit weird, not sure if it is in properly...

Sunday, April 04, 2021, 18:43

Still no beam. TISA emittance FC won't come back on, so waiting for Mike Rowe to troubleshoot on Tuesday. Will ramp things down all the way, since I expect the vacuum to trip the source before I need it again.

Tuesday, April 06, 2021, 23:43

Found some beam, but looks really weird, like it is cut off. Good enough. Ramped everything down.

LP-SIS modified w/ 2 holes on the center block to accept a pair of Ta tubes that are run to the coil PS.

*Note modified HS plates at the ion source to accommodate the LP-SIS (Has a slightly bent ionizer tube from the drilling)

-Plan to shut down the ISAC TS on 12/23/2021 for the holidays.

Thermocouples are installed.
