      MEDICIS

      Target #848M has been irradiated indirectly on HRS irradiation point until this morning (retrieval happened at 11 am).

      Issue with the FC70 (total beam FC) repeller Aqn. Thanks to Miguel who came very quickly to intervene. 

      Currently being operated. No water leak, too early to say if the vacuum will be an issue again. The aim is to start collecting Ra-224 and Ra-225 from this evening if we can.

      Ra-224 will be shipped to Dresden Hospital in Germany and Ra-225 to NPL in London.

      X. Decrand called C.Duchemin this morning to inform us that the air conditionning is ON for MEDICIS since 10 am. We can already feel the difference. Thanks for that!

      Targets, Schedule and Physics 10m
      Speakers: Hanne Heylen (CERN), Mia Au, Sebastian Rothe (CERN)

      target #856 LaCx MK1 (Ta) special for ISOLTRAP Cd

      • yields 100 and 99Cd 
      • yield comparison with prototype #819
      • laser reoptimization required frequently - temperature effect?
        • TODO: check for ion source deformation (Sebastian)

       

      target #867 UCx VD5 for ISS SnS

      Goal:

      • setup to CA0 afternoon
        • TODO: mass scan during technical meeting? (Isa) 
      • TODO: p+ scan and yields this evening? (Sebastian and Isa) 
       

      target #870 LaCx MK1 (Ta) for CRIS Sb

      • target to calibrate and load charge today
      • target change Thursday

      Physics

      On HRS, ISOLTRAP aimed to measured 96Cd located in the 100Sn region. The expected yield was 1 counts per 2 hours, so it was expected to be a very difficult run where everything had to work well. The target was a prototype with very good temperature gradient, with adapted pieces to get rid of as much background as possible in the region of interest and this was very successful. However, due to the extreme sensitivity of this run, there were a lot of RILIS interventions of RILIS. Finally, only 4 counts were collected on the isotope of interest (in 4 shifts where everything was thought to work fine). All in all, the users were happy with the progress, despite not getting a significant amount of statistics.
