Fixede768s Thu Jul 25 11:05:18 2019 Francois de OliveiraOTHERGeneral Previous Papers - alpha-branching ratios for states in the 4-MeV region
In the reaction 15N(7Li,t)19F, the ratio between the measured cross sections is R(3/2+/9/2-)>29. We should get the same ratio in 19Ne. In 19Ne, the 3/2+ state decays with Eg=4033 keV (80%), the second with 2632 keV (100%), gamma efficiency = 4% and 5.5%, this gives a ratio between the number of counts measured in the 2632 keV and in the 4033 keV > 29 x 100/80 x 5.5 / 4 ~ 50.

Fixede768s Tue Jul 16 12:10:05 2019 FrancoisBEAMGeneralLiFbeam intensity, normalisation, elastic scattering 7Li
In 2005, the 15O1+ beam was measured at 6x10^7 pps after the CIME cyclotron, contaminated with ~nAe of 15N1+.
After stripper (aluminium stripper at LISE) the purity was 97 % of 15O8+ with 3 % of 15N8+.

The 15N(7Li,7Li)15N cross section has been measured at 27.3 MeV (18.6 MeV CM) (see images). It is Rutherford at angles <10° CM.

In the present experiment, the energy CM is 22.4 MeV CM.
10°CM correspond to 85° in lab, 7Li with energy ~ 0.46 MeV.

Conclusions:
- it is not possible to normalise to the Rutherford cross section of 7Li
- expected beam intensity at nominal should be > 10^7 pps (a factor less than 2 between 1+ and 3+, 40% of 8+ after stripper)

- MM1,2,4 OK
- MM3 has a lot of strip missing both in X and Y and current has increased wince last campaign (4uA)--> katpon should be checked

Fixede793s Thu Mar 12 15:48:58 2020 Franco&MarlèneGRITGeneral Summary and TO DO list 12/03/2020
What remains to be done
- Do the time calibration of all boards (time calibrator has to be connected)
        . When checking the pulser on all boards we saw that MG5 has no triggers on Y and MG9 does not see the pulser (neither X or Y). So we will not get time calibration for those
- Plug the STOP in the MUVI (either clean HF that was used in the previous experiment or CATS2 clean that was also prepared during the last experiment but should be connected)
- Rename parameters in the GECO of the experiment
        . We now run only with 3 MUVI, MG9 (square) is put in channel 3 of MUVI2 (where MG6 was plugged before)
        . We changed the names for the ACTION_mugast.CHC_PAR but it has to be done for the experiment file)
- Targets will be mounted last week before the experiment. The surveyor have to remeasure the position of all targets.
- hvm_watcher has to be modified according to the changes made on the distribution boxes : 
        . MG9 is on the LV/BT of the new distribution box on channel 6
        . MM1 is on channel 5 of the MUST2 distribution box (instead of channel 1).


We noticed instabilities in the current of the MUST2 detectors : T1 is fluctuating from time to time and T2 current is increasing slowly but surely.
We now run with 60V on MM1 and MM2 and 70V on MM3 and MM4.
The fluctuations on MM1 are usually solved when cooling down to 0 degree.

!! We do not leave HV and LV on when there is nobody to check the temperature of the boards and the coolers.
