Run list

Scaler channel #2 counts the number of beam pulses

Detector 4 is Beam Left and in ADC channel 7, Ortec Dual Spec amp set to course=10, fine=39, Canberra CFD set to 85 mV lower threshold

Detector 1 is Beam Right and in ADC channel 3, Ortec Dual Spec amp set to course=20, fine=10, Canberra CFD set to 70 mV lower threshold

In-flight

Run # Run Duration (s) Configuration
6488 min s 2->60Hz rep rate, Looking at NaI in shielded cell at -600 Volts, Magnet on Accelerator side deflects electrons, Tungsten target is out, triggering only on the beam gate and looking at ADC channel 3

6490 min s same as above except: -550 Volts,
6491 min s same as above except: -575 Volts,
6492 min s same as above except: inserted Aluminum brick to be sure electrons are staying on accelerator side, drops NaI output by factor of 2

6494 min s same as above except: -700 Volts
6498 min s same as above except: -500 Volts, magnet out
6499 min s same as above except: -700 Volts, very similar ADC spectrum for magnet in
6500 min s (54420 , 120 Hz pulses =453.5 sec) same as above except: removed Al brick beam stop, increased current from zero until signal was observed in experimental cell NaI (probably mostly dark current from RF cavity)
6501 min s (54297 pulses) same as above except: inserted Al brick beam stop, R6500-01.png
6502 min s (54297 pulses) same as above except: REmoved Al brick beam stop
