Revision as of 15:44, 16 December 2021

Thursday December 16

Last 24h:
- Smooth production on LD₂ at 140 nA, 0/90 para and perp. Interrupted only by search for better spot on diamond (~1h see below) and ~1h of RF-related down time.
- Spectra from A. Somov.
Issues
- JD70-105 degradation: Hovanes tried to find a new location that improved the 0/90 para and 45/135 para/perp coherent peaks, but to no avail.
- Target lost the Labview readout twice last night (2:20am and 5:50am). Chris Carlin came the first time and fixed it. The second time, we fixed it following his instruction and it worked.
- Rates are ~10% lower compared to previous LD₂ data taking period, see here. Part of it is lower transmission but even accounting for this, normalized rates remains 6% lower (see trigger/PS, black disk symbols, here).
Plans
- Continue running on LD₂ at 140 nA, 0/90 para and perp. Do one amorphous run today.
- Discussion on possible target change to L⁴He.
- Status of possible CPP test.
