Folks,

Let's meet next Friday, January 30th at 1:30pm EST in TL-2236. Some topics are listed below.

In the meantime, the Run 1 wiki has been updated run a chronology of events/logbook entries and the final on-line spreadsheet of runs and on-line results: https://wiki.jlab.org/ciswiki/index.php/Run1_-_January_2015

Lessons learned from Run 1

  1. Small aperture mouts may be impractical. Thin foils on backing on larger aperture mount seemed okay.
  2. Improve capability for beam characterization (emittance, momentum, energy spread, bunch length)
  3. VWien+Solenoids more effective than HWien
  4. Make measurement, analysis, data logging as automatic and convenient as possible
  5. Learn how to analyze target video on-line and save for off-line
  6. Replace viewer with either gridded chromox or YAG crystal

Simulation progress

Target thickness measurement status

  • FESEM resolution is about 1.5 nm
  • Sibling list of foils used (note, 0.05um foil 12 does not have sibling and both 0.35um foils 8 and 14 have same sibling)
  • Images saved as TIFF (highest quality of TIFF, BMP, JPEG)
  • ImageJ is free image analysis software hosted by NIH
