keyword=beam modulation progress
Beam modulation will not be able to start very soon. The accelerator
software necessary to pause feedback has not been completed. From
our end, however, this software is almost fully ready (a small
interface problem is nearly solved). We have set up to pass data
to Hall B to allow them to mark data which is taken with feedback
paused, or separately, with energy being modulated.
The consistency of feedback with the Hall B pentaquark study has not
yet been verified. This will probably need to be determined
emperically.
Run 2059 is an attempt to check the orthogonality of modulation,
but the energy modulation wasn't working. This was operator error;
really, the software worked, but my sleep-deprived brain asked for
setpoints in the wrong units. Oh well. We'll try this test again
later.
