20120615 Shift

LN, SB, AA, YK, PK

Access from 8pm to 10:30pm to align LW and check with high power. Everything ok. Installed energy meter post ip and connected to BPM cable for use with NI digitiser.

Loading set file 12may22_0904.dat - last set file from end of last shift. Leave beginning of extraction line as it is - more recent extraction and only change matching section to achieve small beam size at our location.

TD2 for ADC gates had been changed! Reset to nominal value. Background around 6000 ADC counts for charge of around 0.4 x 10^10 (1000 ADC counts on REFC1:amp). This is approximately the same background level as before but with half the charge - therefore double the background level. Switched straight to OTR to confirm beam size before tuning. Usually, the background can be reduced by tweaking the quadrupoles post LWIP slightly making large differences to background.

OTR found. Lower wavelength filter better, but lower transmissiona and lower QE of camera.

Vertical Beam size from OTR 2.1um. Background around 4500 ADC counts on LW Detector with 10dB Attenuation.

Used screen to profile laser beam and observed using APD detector. Laser beam focus location is 9050um (within 10um). Horizontal and vertical alignment performed. Best Location H:300um V:670um. Phase scan showed overlap around 0 and 10V at the edge of the voltage controlled phase shifter's range. Therefore, I removed the 10cm cable previously introduced for extra phase

Changed to 4dB of attenution
Large modulation again - scan really horrible - timing. Increased delay by 1 RF bucket and now phase scanning.
