> CCR had problems tuning the beam with the unpolarised gas system
> (lifetime 9 minutes, top BQM 350, limited to 100 mA injection). We
> were unable to run in this condition so we have switched back to
> running empty target.
>
> This is the second time we were unable to get a reasonable beam tune
> operating the unpolarised system. I think we will have to dedicate so
> time next week to let CCR develop a tune for this and do the
> unpolarised runs later.
>
> We will run empty until around 23:00 at which time Ernie will phone in
> and instruct CCR in turning off the cooling to the target cell.
>
> Since the vacuum will deteriorate as the target cell warms up we will
> not be able to run overnight. Therefore the shifts from 00:00 Tuesday
> until 08:00 Wednesday are cancelled.
>
> Depending on how long it takes to install the collimator Tuesday and
> how long it takes to re-establish vacuum, beam, etc. we will be down
> until Wednesday morning at least and maybe later.
>
> Stay tuned.
