Minutes from REX meeting 2006-06-07

 

Present: Mats Lindroos (chair), Didier Voulot, Fredrik Wenander, Luis Fraile, Christian Dutriat

 

 

REX low energy part

 

* Witch tried to take stable beam over the week end. The local ion source failed but has now been repaired.

 

* EBIS and trap are running ok. Slow extraction is in principle operational.

 

REX linac

 

* The 9-gap is now up and running. The vacuum leak has been fixed. RF power is slowly increased to condition the cavity.

 

* A first tuning of the linac with stable beam is planned beginning of next week.

 

* There is no reason at this point to cancel the run.

 

* Concrete blocs will be installed next week along the linac to shield properly X-rays from the cavities.

 

 

 

 

Another short status meeting will take place next Wednesday.
