1. Al corona shield installed over end of the HV duct to suppress discharges from the sharp edge of the duct.

2. Some moving and shortening of cables to keep them from running close to different voltages.

3. Changed the angle bracket on the 3M bias-EE resistor chain to a plate, same position.

4. Moved the 164K EE resistor chain to sit flat against feedthrough K.

5. Moved the bias-EE spark gap to sit flat against the back of feedthrough K, required tapping a hole in the back of the copper clamp.

6. Cap and top of rack vacuumed.

7. Piece of shielding removed from top of HV rack

Thursday, October 10, 2024, 12:29   during the current increase, when TBHT was at 230 and TGHT reached ~460, the TBHT current began decreasing. Upon inspection, the TBHT voltage is higher than normal and hitting its limit. It may be that there is another current path. that is, it may be shorted. 

as TGHT increases, TBHT voltage continues to increase.   TGHT voltage is similarly higher than usual, at 6V to deliver 500A.

on another note, the vacuum value has been increasing slowly throughout heating, possibly due to the presence of indium within the mass marker reservoir, or simply because this target has not been hot for some time. Leaving TGHT at 502A for the time being.
