keyword=oct 9 owl shift summary
Start shift finishing access to check FPP ch 1 U problem.
Somewhat obscure, probably loose cable, it gets fixed
by X JIang and R Gilman.
00:55 - 1:05: finished 1H radiator out, last run 2173,
switch to 2H target
1:05 - 2H radiator out runs, first run 2174
2:30 beam down for a while for tuning
3:00 beam stability starts stinking
3:30 done with run 2176, time to move radiator in, ask
for current reduction to 30 microamps.
3:30 move radiator in, found previous person to move it out left it enabled.
Finger breaking lessons needed?
3:40 the hour of stinky beam continues difficult to take a run with trips
and beam offcenter.
run 2177 garbage, run 2178 first gamma + d run.
4:00 Hall C shuts down for hour, waiting for injector person, as MCC
cannot keep beam up at 60 microamps. We are getting stable
beam in meantime.
5:08 beam stable at 30.5 uA with no trips for 60 + minutes, now off for
injector expert investigation, an hour or so
6:05 MCC calls and says they are about to start restoring beam
6:50 As MCC hasbeen playing with beam for a while, figuring taking data
while they play cannot hurt. Run 2181 crashes, start 2182.
7:30 MCC says they are done playing with beam, coda does a big crash, TS1
7:40 start run 2182 TS1 crashes to end it
