keyword=MCC changing guns
At around 21:45 the program deputy called to inform us that MCC could deliver around 20uA reliably tonight but not 40uA. Apparently, running at the higher current has been causing problems in the accelerator which MCC has not been able to resolve this evening. To fix these problems will require switching 'guns'. After discussion with our run coordinator, we decided to accept the 20uA beam and hopefully try to take data until tomorrow.
Unfortunately, at 22:30, MCC informed us that they were still having problems and so had decided to go ahead and swap guns now. They estimate beam being off for 2-3 hours.
