Use only B-top (PG4) gas feed.
Load with 6 psi of helium.
All other valves disabled.

Load 1070402011 as the starting shot.
Expect this to have 3 mT of helium

Expect to take approximately 20 shots.

Jinseok Ko is the SL

MP 460. Beam into gas. No fields. Looking for the angles of the MSE channels with respect to the trajectory of the beam by measuring the Doppler shift.

MSE spectrum measurement

1. Viewing angle measurements for all 10 channels
2. Aperture broadening : Since we don't see the aperture effects, we are
not going to use any aperture today


Configurations:

1. MSE

- Shutter OPEN
- No fixed polarizer
- PEM off
- Fiber bundles to the spectrometer. Optimum positions found on 1070404.
See Logbook 1070404xxx (topic name : 'mse')

2. DNB

- Pulse 0.5 ~ 1.5 sec
- Energy : 50 keV
- Current : 4 ~ 5 A

3. Spectrometer

- Slit : 100 um
- Shutter open

4. Torus

- He gas (3 mTorr)
- Load 1070402011
- All gate values close
- All the power supplys OFF
- Gas pressure control : dt for PG_4 ~ 1.6

Physics Operator Comments
Apr 9 2007 10:57:54:720AMBill RowanTurned off observer.
Loaded shot 1070402011.

Segment 1 is on.
Segments 2,3,4 are all off.

PG4 (B-Top) is set for 1.59 s which I expect to produce 3 mT if the plenum pressure is 6 PSI.

Enabled DNB gate valve
Apr 9 2007 11:14:52:363AM1070409001Bill Rowan001. Successful shot.
Beam fired during init and at the requested time.
This caused the beam data not to be taken during the shot. No beam data.
Gate valves were open during shot.

For next shot, gates valves will be closed for 45 s after the shot.
Apr 9 2007 11:23:54:440AM1070409002Bill Rowan002.
Good shot.
SL agrees with pressure and gate valves are closed as requested
Beam fired only at the requested time. Did not fire during init.
No beam data
Apr 9 2007 11:33:34:943AM1070409003Bill Rowan003. Beam fired. Beam data available for this shot.
Apr 9 2007 12:10:42:880PM1070409007Bill Rowan007. Increased the he pressure by 3 %
Changed the pg4 pulse length from 1.59 to 1.63
SL noted that the pressure was restored to the original target.
Apr 9 2007 01:09:42:490PM1070409010Bill Rowan010. Increased the He pressure because of shot to shot droop.
The new pulse length is 1.68 s
Apr 9 2007 01:31:36:763PM1070409014Bill Rowan014. Increased pressure by 3% at the request of the SL
Increased the pulse length to 1.73 s
Apr 9 2007 01:38:19:640PM1070409016Bill Rowan016. Increased the pressure at the request of the SL
The pulse length for PG4 is now 1.78 s
