    keyword=establishing beam on target, part 1

    01:30 Starting the plan aimed at getting 50 uA on Pb/diamond.

    Unfortunately the raster is too small.
    But we can make some progress.

    01:35 ... Put in Holey target. 0.5 uA (step 8).
    BPMs X,Y
    4A: 0.8, 0.3 mm
    4B: -0.2, 0.3 mm
    upper scints turned on. T5 rates:
    L-HRS 1.9 MHz
    R-HRS 1.8 MHz
    these might be saturated.

    See an anti-hole, fig 1. I guess the rates are too high.

    Ask for 10 nA. Laser atten=75, slit=15
    Rates L-HRS 720 kHz, R-HRS 1.08 MHz Still high

    Ask for Atten=65. Slit still 15
    L: 350 kHz and R: 600 kHz

    During the ramp-down runs 26923 and 6324 were running
    and recording scalers.

    01:50 ... Reduce slit to 14.5 (atten still 65)
    L: 265 kHz
    R: 475 kHz
    Start runs 26924 and 6325

    At these lower rates the picture is clearer, fig 2.
    Looks like we are way off center. Hitting a frame.
