Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 16:15: While inspecting the 9-pin connection with Ferran, it was noticed how two braided cables were burnt out pretty bad to the point they were separated in half (see attached pictures).  Additionally the plastic insulator for the anode wire was melted.

Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 16:30: Braided cables need to be changed and anode wire redone. 

Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 17:16: Wondering if this happened during TM4 source tray conditioning given the following entries in the elog (entry 725):

Monday, June 03, 2019, 09:51: BIAS down to 50 kV. Burnt plastic smell lingering. Wait* 

Tuesday, June 04, 2019, 10:29: Note* Minute fluctuations of Anode current have ended after the spark. Also slight 'Burnt' smell noticed around the test stand area.

Test successful with a constant current power supply in the range 1 nA-40 nA.

TBD: does this work with beam?

Entry  Thursday, August 08, 2019, 09:12, Aaron Schmidt, , LP-FEBIAD, , , , 42752-7, In progress, P2N Setup - LP-FEBIAD target 8x

Inserted a used (heating) LP-FEBIAD target with a basic heat shield assembly with no end plate foil on the window side to observe heating. The P2N Coil / TGHT connections were added.

Test whether the TS connections are affecting the P2N heating or if it's the P2N target itself.

-Heat the TGHT only, observe, then ramp down.

-Heat Coil only, observe, then ramp down.

-Heat TGHT w/ Coil, observe, then ramp down.

Note* Heating should be even across the target. Elog & take pictures.

NO HV ALLOWED!!!!

Wednesday, August 14, 2019, 09:17: Revising the archiver, on July 8th at around 4 am, the vacuum on GC1A increased from normal levels to around 0.2 T. This happened while the target was held at a high combined current from both TGHT PS and Coil PS. See screenshots attached.


Thursday, August 15, 2019, 09:57: Vacuum is only around 1.06e-06T.  Turbo pumps off. Ion gauge off.

Thursday, August 15, 2019, 16:17: Q FT undone to remove the connection to the 9-pin

The idea is to change the cables to have individual signals. This will allow 4 thermocouple readings.

NB: The FT is not vacuum tight as of now  (gasket needs to be replaced and flange needs to be tight)
