    Details

    Shift starts with HAPPEX run 13388 and Compton run 20500 in progress.

    00:17---Compton HV trips. HV trips again at 00:22. Again at 00:27.

    00:32---Start new HAPPEX run, 13389.

    00:33---Compton ROC6 stops responding. Power cycle ROC6 with hareboot4 "outlet 6". Do "coda reboot"

    Compton HV trips at 00:45. Compton HV trips again at 01:02. Again at 01:07. Again at 01:13.

    00:14---Compton runcontrol screen just disppeared. Session closed from adaql3 to the compton computer. Restarted runcontrol and started a new Compton run.

    Compton HV trips at 01:17. Again at 01:21. Again at 01:26.

    01:29---Start new HAPPEX run, 13390.

    01:32---D.Wang takes over the Compton DAQ.

    01:42---Compton HV trips again. There was not a run in progress, so we can't see the rates in the archiver.

    01:52---Take run 25079 to check spot++.

    02:25---Start new HAPPEX run, 13391.

    03:22---Start new HAPPEX run, 13392.

    03:29---D.Wang is finished with his tests on the Compton DAQ. Begin Compton run 20508.

    03:46---Compton HV tripped.

    04:15---Compton HV tripped. Tripped again at 04:21. Tripped again at 04:30. Tripped again at 04:32. Tripped again at 04:40.

    04:41---Start new HAPPEX run, 13393.

    04:42---Take run 25080 for spot++ check.

    04:49---Compton HV tripped again at 04:49. Tripped again at 04:58. Tripped again at 05:08. Tripped again at 05:12. Tripped again at 05:13.

    05:16---Start new HAPPEX run, 13394.

    05:16---Compton HV tripped again.

    05:18---Started new Compton run, 20509.

    05:22---Compton HV tripped again at 05:22. Tripped again at 05:24. Tripped again at 05:25.

    OPS hasn't found any smoking gun for why we're getting the rate spikes. Sometimes they are associated with energy drifts, but not always.

    Tripped again at 05:31. Tripped again at 05:32. Tripped again at 05:34. Tripped again at 05:37 Tripped again at 05:41. Tripped again at 05:43. Tripped again at 05:46. Tripped again at 05:47. Tripped again at 05:48. Tripped again at 05:49. Tripped again at 05:51. Tripped again at 05:53. Tripped again at 05:55. Tripped again at 05:58.

    06:00---Call out to Alex.

    Changed Compton HV to -1750. Move the table to X=53.50 Reduce HV to -1600 V. Reduce HV to -1450 V. Change attenuator to 1 and gain to 8.

    OPS will try a pathlength check.

    Alex will come in soon. If it trips again, leave it off until he gets in.

    06:13---Start new HAPPEX run, 13395. Mostly no beam in this run.

    06:41---OPS is done with the pathlength adjustment Sending beam back to us now.

    Start new HAPPEX run, 13396.

    06:50---The Compton rates are not stable, and don't show any difference between laser on and off. Alex was expecting to come in shortly.

    06:57---Noticed the beam current was right about 96 uA. Request it be increased a little to be about 98 uA.

    07:15---Alex arrives and starts to look at the Compton.

    07:39---Start new HAPPEX run, 13397.
