Target needs to be removed form teststand to remove heatshielding around target oven. The chamber will be vented, water circuits flushed and target removed.

 A chip of insulator material was detected below the lower target insulator stand-off (attachment - left picture). The chip may come from the tube heater insulator above (attachment - right picture). The chip will be further investigated when the target is removed.

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.

Started the cool down.

During the mass scan today it was discovered, that the mass calibration was off. Further investigation showed, that the Hall probe readings are a factor of 1.31 lower than during previous measurements. A fault report has been issued to controls.

 new parameters for mass scan program after fit of mass scan

CONST11 = -4.13

purged Ne line and started cathode heater ramp up to 295 A

A short in the anode has developed during the heater ramp up. Increasing the current limit did not cure it. Start heater ramp down to investigate.
