ItemNotes
Plan for the day
  • Linac currently off for repairs, expected to be on around 2
    • Sebastian won't be here past 3:30 but should have enough people
  • Repairs done, waiting on Allan/RSWCFs
SSA problems
  • Ryan has a script to capture which 1.3 SSAs have problems, will send to Andy
    • Andy will go look at them
  • HL SSAs coming on just fine
Machine stability
  • Linac RF has been remarkably stable
    • Even heat didn't affect stability over the weekend
  • Have not needed dedicated hour for global characterizations
    • Maybe 3 or 4 per shift
    • Not sure what changed this
      • RFS phase reference line tracking went, but should have just relieved SEL phase offset problem
  • 24/7 beam program is correct, but owl shift is often phasing. Might give us time to do work
LBNL detune
  • LBNL team preparing
  • Tracking which cavities could need correction
  • We don't have a fault that shows this
    • Can look at forward power, see if it goes up
  • Larry will be here tomorrow (8/10)
    • Will probably want to do passive monitoring
    • Might ask to put in coefficient corrections
      • Noninvasive? Maybe?
      • Probably won't do globally
Issues
  • Cavities 7 and 8 in H1 (H2?)
    • Andy has a suspect, will look during next PAMM
  • PRL offset in CMs 13 and 15 (and H1)
    • Should we add to phasing procedure?
      • Per cavity basis
      • Don't really know what an actual problem looks like
Piezos
  • Not sure where to fit in
    • 6AM slot is being used for configuration change 
  • First light would be a good turning point for opportunities 
  • Can use 6-7PM SRF slot for verification
Battery-powered chassis for tuning
  • Want to make smarter
  • Want to have a laptop connected
  • In brainstorming phase, spec unclear
  • Initial assumption was to be fast and not complicated
  • Worst case means no power
    • Will only have a couple hours, including commute time
  • Current chassis will boot and be usable, need to double check
    • can issue per-cavity commands and then disconnect laptop and move on while it's working
      • Chassis will need to stay while motors are moving
