 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.

  94   Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 18:10 Aurelia Laxdal  ITETM4   SiC#27 cooling 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

Started the cool down.

  95   Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 19:55 Friedhelm Ames      Problems/SolutionsHall probe reading wrong

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.

 Wednesday, July 04, 2012: short found between anode and target. probably caused by the target tube coming in contact with the anode due to bending of the tube caused by heating and deformation of the grid retaining ring. see attachements

  126   Wednesday, July 04, 2012, 15:37 Anders MjosFEBIAD anode end cap test     In progressPumping down

Replaced grid containing ring (target side) with new ring. No contact between target and anode measured in lab.

NOTE: While closing up the VCR fittings the tube rotated causing the tube to flatten in a bend. This may reduce water flow on the heat shield circuit. (see attachment)
