GTS meeting 5 02 17

Attempted to run at 1 mA

1. Ran for few seconds before a HV arc. QE dropped by a factor of 2.
2. Ran again for 1.5 hours with ion-precipitators on (?) before a HV arc. QE dropped by another factor of 2.

List of Tasks (Down Monday – Wednesday)

1. Re-activate photocathode with 3 mm active area
2. Degas dump with NEGs at 2 Amps AC on for ion pumps to take vacuum load
3. Laser ND Filters:
   1. Wheel filters are physically out of laser path (cannot be used).
   2. ND filter with In/Out box in GTS control room can still be used. Is has ND1 filter (a factor of 10).
   3. Shukui installed ND3 filter on spare servo motor 2. We should start using this ND filter. It is now on the Tool Screen.
4. Instrument wire scanner
5. Install WiFi access point and enable JMenu on PC in GTS cave
6. Why is Dump/FC picoammeter reading is noisy? up to 20 nA.
7. Hi-pot VIPGT06
8. SCAM VL LINE SYNC frequency is not 60 Hz? Need 60 Hz Beam Sync Chassis. Will run with "FREE RUN" mode at 60 Hz.
9. Put ND filter in front of ITVGT06 and mount camera on the floor.

1. ion collectors and anode current
2. The downstream ion collector was wired incorrectly
3. This is a sketch of the internals of the downstream ion collector VICGT06
