04/17/00 Evening Shift Summary: (Log Book: #7, p.75-78) On shift: DJ, ZM Data Type: chi0 (Ecm=3426 MeV) Beam current at start: 43.2 mA . Beam current at end: 35.3 mA . Typical Luminosity: (2.2-2.5) x 10^31 cm^-2s^-1 Run: 5002 (257.3 nb-1) 5003 (274.0 nb-1) 5004 in progress Comments: 4:30 According to AP10 - 0.1-0.2 mA beam current is being lost approximately every 20 minutes. They have seen this ~6 times. Lowered Jet density from 1.1x10^14 to 3.0x10^13 cm-3 to see if problem is gas-jet related. 4:50 Beam Valve shut entirely. Run paused. Information comes from KEG that a possible cause of beam loss have been found and fixed. 5:15 Beam Valve reopened, resumed run. After this everything went smoothly. Several DAQ hangs, with successful RESETs. Have a good night, Dave and Zaza
