|
LP-SIS modified w/ 2 holes on the center block to accept a pair of Ta tubes that are run to the coil PS.
*Note modified HS plates at the ion source to accommodate the LP-SIS (Has a slightly bent ionizer tube from the drilling)
-Plan to shut down the ISAC TS on 12/23/2021 for the holidays. |

|
Monday, August 23, 2021, 09:53: RP1 was swapped back to our original pump. (see e-log
889)
Derek informed that they test it overnight and performed well, and it's a bit slow but it goes down to 20 mT. |
Saturday, August 07, 2021, 18:07, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, FC0 lasrge oscillation and RMPs offset. Both started today. [Got solved by itself]
|
Saturday, August 07, 2021, 18:02: As mentions in previous entries, the FC0 current oscillates with no change on ion source parameters.
Hence, I came on-site to see if there was an issue with the hardware. Nothing obvious.
Last night there were some sparks that might have cause some issue. |
Thursday, August 05, 2021, 08:49, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, CANBUS snooper set up to investigate random optics turnining off 
|
Problem: Some devices turn off unexpectedly and sometimes without any obvious trigger. In the past, the only time this was an issue
was during mass scans. Now with the automation of measurements, this is a major problem as it prevents longer parameter scans.
Thursday, August 05, 2021, 08:00: Kevin setup the CANBUS snooper by hooking it up on the magnet card loop port. |

|
After not being able to get beam through the emittance meter. I diagnosed that the plates was not biased (reason yet unknow).
I swapped the cables from the plates such that it looks like the picture below. With this, I was able to take an emittance scan with the previous
parameters. |

|
TP1A tripped off on Fernando, seems the backing pressure got too high. Even with PV1 closed the RP1 pump could not get below 200mTorr. Derek from vacuum
group came and had a look, and is swapping RP1 out for one of the vacuum group pumps, then will see if they can repair ours. |
