Mg run

 

isotopes run: 28,30,32Mg

 

yields:    maybe a factor 2 precision, 7E6/uC for 30Mg and 1E5/uC for 32Mg

target=700 A, line=300 A

28Al superimposed on 28Mg

 

breeding time 30Mg7+ 15 ms, 32Mg9+ 18 ms (not optimum), 28Mg9+ (not optimum)

 

efficiencies:           GPS to REXTRAP >90%

trap 40-50% throughout the experiment

EBIS 15-20% for 30Mg7+, <10% for 32Mg9+; efficiencies measured with 24Mg

28Mg9+ 17.7% (on average 10%), efficiency measured with 28Mg

stable K10+ efficiencies 22% for optimum breeding time

Linac somewhat unclear, estimated 80% for 30Mg7+

Total efficiency for 30Mg7+ ~6%.

With ~2 uC/s => 1.4E7 30Mg/s from the ISOLDE target and 8E5 30Mg/s on Miniball target

 

current after trap and ebis: 5 pA on injection plate, 28Mg9+ average 4 pA at A/q=3.11111

 

technical problems:

        water leak EBIS

        breaking target on GPS

        beam diagnostics FEC

        computer control of Linac broke down

 

comments: beam setup with K beam, high breeding efficiency 22% K10+

 

lesson: keep the trap on same voltage as last run => retain same injection parameters into the EBIS
