<div>On GPS, post-accelerated ¹³²SnS beams are being delivered to Miniball to study the evolution of collectivity around the doubly magic shell closures at N = 82 and Z = 50. Producing these molecular SnS beams remains challenging, and in this run the isotope of interest is present but with more contamination than expected, which is contrary to the usual benefit of molecular beams. Despite this, the experiment is collecting good statistics, although additional tricks need to be applied to better determine the beam composition. The physicists are happy so far, and the run will continue until Friday.</div>

<h2>Schedule</h2>
<ul>
<li>Mail FW: In case there’s a gamma detector suited for the yield station, wouldn’t it be worth asking for some time on Friday to try to see if the reported isobaric contaminations can be suppressed by changing the operational parameters of the target-ion source at GPS? I know of at least one request for this type of beam after LS3. Meanwhile, I could make a last attempt to see if gas injection at a very high pressure can revive the cathode.</li>
