    Entry number 205210

    keyword=Swing Shift Summary

    16:00 Arrived waiting for pass-change to be completed.
    16:20 Pass change done, beam size checked at MCC with Harp Scan (harp A) - Yan in MCC reports beam size of 84 um x 150 um (see separate halog entry...ok, 2 entries since Brad did it before I did the same entry!)

    Raster size determined (see separate halog): ask MCC for '2.8 x 4.5' to give 2mm x 2 mm.

    Optics run done.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Start Production: 3He, Radiator IN (doing 2 hours worth)

    Run 1153 (start @ 17:45) - short run (high deadtime, prescales unset)
    Run 1154 (start @ 17:47) - good production running (stay @ 20 uA)
    ...T5 trigger rate @ 20 uA = 3.8 - 3.9 Hz ...

    Radiator temp seemed to level off to less than 3K/min, so increased current to 30 uA.

    Run 1155 (start @ 18:07) - good production running (@ 30 uA)
    Run 1156 (start @ 19:08) - good production running (@ 30 uA)

    Great shift! (unfortunately, # of good 3He(g,pp)n events is small, but that appears to be life :)
