Software development/testing |
Standby Machine Development (SMD)
MD Item | Procedure Link | Machine Time | Responsible Party | Required beam destination | Notes | Completed |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DL10 energy minimization vs bunch charge | E-log | Ops | TD11 | Can be done with optimized injector emittances, variable Schottky phase | 2/13/24 Unoptimized SOL121 | |
Injector bunch length vs bunch charge | Ops | TD11 | Can be done with optimized injector emittances, variably Schottky phase | Have we never done this? | ||
S20 beam density measurements | S20 beam density vs chrip | Ops | FACET dump | Repeat with upstream emittance measurements | ||
XTCAV calibration vs power | FACET dump | Verify that streaking calibration is the scales with power | ||||
Injector wire commissioning | TD11 | Find wires, verify planes | ||||
Compare injector wire emittances to 571 quad scan | TD11 | Sounds like the kind of task that will challenge your faith in our most reliable measurement | ||||
Characterize BC11 Collimators | ||||||
Characterize BC14 energy offset | ||||||
Stagger L1 chirp | (draft) | 1-2h | Buschmann | TD11 initially, S20 after setup | want to characterize effect on longitudinal phase space, emittance growth in L2 and relationship with collimation of beam tails/losses in BC14 | |
