[BLAST_SHIFTS] daily meeting

From: Michael Kohl (kohlm@mit.edu)
Date: Wed May 26 2004 - 17:54:47 EDT


>From today (Wed May 26 - Wed Jun 2) MICHAEL is the run coordinator.

-Status ABS
 +One SFT transition found not completely effective
 +Increase rf power
 +Polarization after 1.5kC still inconclusive

 +Density up to 10% higher after realignment

-Discussion about density
 +Comparison 60/40cm cell: density scales like 1.8 (calculated).
 +ABS: 1.3 (deuterium+hydrogen), unpol: 1.7 (molecular hydrogen)

 +Tancredi's results with v14 closed

 +Ernie's theory to explain lower ABS number:
  inlet tube (teflon) warmer: larger conductance -> less density in cell

-Measurement of unpol target with v14 open required (coming weekend/Monday)

-Injecting at 130 mA, increase to 135 mA
-Now 15% dead at top of fill
-Linear extrapolation would allow for 150mA with 20% deadtime

-Spin angle is now 32deg after increasing longitudinal field. Note that
 present Montecarlo results are still for 45 degrees, need to be rerun.

-Plan for tonight is to continue running polarized deuterium at 32 degree spin
 angle

Regards,

  Michael
