|
* **Root cause:** Vacuum in injection straight

|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum
|
|
* **Category:** 2
|
|
* VCS: ARS01 VPIC 0010 :PUMP1-PRESSURE
|
|
* Beam lost over ~500 ms
|
|
* not clear since RadFET indicates good dump and while Libera loss data does not agree
|
|
* steep drop of lifetime before beam loss also indicates uncontrolled beam loss since usually faster than vacuum interlock

|
* From now on:
|
|
* Vacuum Interlock threshold now reduced to 1e-7 mbar
|
|
* Filling pattern gap increased from 30 to 50 buckets

|
|
* **Root cause:** Classical ion instability due to bad vacuum in X02SA with U15 gap closed
|
|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum and collimators
|
|
* **Category:** 2
|
|
* Beam dump seems to be caused by an initially slow-rising vacuum spike inside the X02SA U15 undulator
|
|
* Lifetime went down from 8 hours to <2 hours slowly in the last 5 minutes before the beam dump simultaneously with the pressure going up
|
|
* The observed vacuum spike could be a classical ion instability
|
|
* Vacuum Interlock unfortunately was not triggered
|
|
* ID gap is stuck at minimum value and cannot be opened which would improve the vacuum

## 6 - Tue 23-Sep-25 15:56
|
|
* **Root cause:** FOFB writes bad values to correctors
|
|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 388 mA
|
|
* **Category:** 2
|
|
* Happened during BPM Sector reboot, i.e., overall reliability issue with BPM/FOFB system
|
|
* Beam dump controller only triggered by RF stations
|
|
* Post mortem data clearly shows that beam was lost before dump kicker was fired
|
|
* Communication issue between machine experts concerning disabling the orbit deviation beam dump seems irrelevant
|
|
* It would be good if the disabling and reenabling of the orbit deviation beam dump for sector reboots could be automized in a safe way

## 5 - Thu 07-Aug-25 20:31
|
|
* **Root cause:** misfiring of one individual beam dump kicker stage
|
|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
|
|
* **Category:** 4
|
|
* it seems one stage of the beam dump kicker misfired, partially killing the beam and triggering an RF interlock which requested a beam dump which led to a intended firing of the beam dump kicker that failed for the only just misfired stage

|
|
* **Root cause:** Fast change of quadrupole setpoints (MD shift)
|
|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 200 mA
|
|
* **Category:** 2
|
|
* Fast orbit detection might prevent this in future but not if tune moved to 0.5

* **Root cause:** Fast change of quadrupole setpoints (MD shift)

|
* **Root cause:** FOFB wrote NAN to corrector magnets
|
|
* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
|
|
* **Category:** 2
|
|
* Automated testing clearly shows the bug of the EPICS ringbuffer record in EPICS 7.0.8 leading to the regular appearance of huge numbers about every 5 seconds when writing a new value to the
|
|
ringbuffer with 10 Hz. The bug is not observed at all for EPICS 7.0.9

|
* **Root cause:** Misfiring of individual kicker during turning off 4 Kicker Bump at 400 mA

* **Issue:** Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
|

|
* EPICS procedure to prevent this is implemented
