Thursday, July 25, 2024, 14:25  - competing electrical checks prior to test stand installation

 Thursday, July 25, 2024, 17:07 - after target installation test stand roughed down, turbo pumps then turned on. vacuuming overnight

 Friday, July 26, 2024, 09:01  -  water cooling turned on, while monitoring vacuum level (~1.5e-6T).  No affect on vacuum.

Friday, July 26, 2024, 09:32  -  began increasing TGHT TBHT.   increased to 230A/230A at 1A/30s

Friday, July 26, 2024, 10:22 - closed cage and increased BIAS to 30kV to ensure a lack of sparks - additional risk of sparking due to the multipin wires connected to TGHT and TBHT at the target terminals.

Friday, July 26, 2024, 11:04   -  decreased BIAS to 0V.  Then opening cage to allow access to reading voltage across TG and TB at target

Friday, July 26, 2024, 11:29  -  reached 230/230 A.  TG TB measurements taken at this point.

Friday, July 26, 2024, 12:05  -  increasing TGHT at 1A/30s to 250A

Friday, July 26, 2024, 12:13  -  TGHT at 250A for measurement

Friday, July 26, 2024, 12:29  -  increasing TGHT to 300A at 1A/30s

Friday, July 26, 2024, 15:28  TGHT increasing at 1A/30s  

Friday, July 26, 2024, 19:14 FBP: we couldn't get a great mass scan with the provided tune from Dave, we might be doing something wrong. Mass scan saved and plotted here. 

Friday, July 26, 2024, 19:16 FBP: Target will be cooled down today before the weekend. 

Monday, July 29, 2024, 09:50 TGHT/TBHT ramping up to 580/230 A 1A/30s 

Monday, July 29, 2024, 15:30:  ramping up, relatively frequent sparking beginning at 24kV. Ramped down.  (also noticed that internal test wires were shaking due to high voltage bias)

Monday, July 29, 2024, 15:49 HV at 20kV waiting for stabilization

Monday, July 29, 2024, 15:58  after a five minute period of stability, beginning to increase bias in 100V increments. 

Monday, July 29, 2024, 17:35   sparking is too frequent (decided at 24kV) to warrant attempting to condition HV up to 30kV. must determine the cause of this sparking. thus cooling target overnight.  will remove internal wires and reheat.

Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 08:32 after cooling, test stand was vented, wires removed, and subsequently pumped down. 

now beginning TGHT TBHT ramp to 580 230 at 1A/30s

Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 10:02  during TGHT TBHT ramp, HV was slowly increased to 35kV to assess high voltage stability. Throughout, and at 35kV, there were no sparks seen at all.

 Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 13:50   target at 580 230. increasing bias. 

Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 14:45   at ~24kV, the bias is sparking approximately every 4 minutes. 

Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 17:28  When sparks slowed, bias was increased, but ultimately the sparking behaviour persisted. The bias was then dropped down to 0 and TGHT TBHT cooled at -1A/30s to 0A for target removal tomorrow.
