• The shielding and grounding scheme was improved after the December run.
• There hasn’t been no unexpected shutdown since then.
• No shutdown for ~10 days with SC+NC+Bypass during shutdown period.
• No shutdown for ~10 days with SC + (BTS) after accelerator started to run.
• The problem by the external noise seems fixed.
Quench Problem Status (W. Ootani)
A new problem happened during CW accelerator testing.
COBRA was unexpectedly shutdown after 40 hrs operation.Still under investigation, but it seems there was a problem with NC power supply according to the measured waveform.

Cryogenic Test at SIMICCryogenic Test at SIMIC
• -18/May– All nuts on the covers of the cold vessel were fas
tened tightly and the warm vessel was evacuated whole weekend.
• 21/May– He leak test. 1.8Bar He was filled and found that
the leak rate was larger than 10-4 mbarl/sec. Keep evacuation during the night.
• 22/May– cooling using cold gas from the LN2 tank. Cold g
as in the cold vessel Most parts were cooled down to -5~-10 degree C.
• 23/May– liquid N2 through the cooling pipe. All parts coole
d below -110 degreeC around 12:00.– Then N2 gas at 1.0Bar and He gas filled step by
step with measuring leak rate.• N2 1.0 bar He 0.2 bar 5x10-7 mbarl/sec• N2 1.0 bar He 0.4 bar 1.6x10-6mbarl/sec• N2 1.0 bar He 0.6 bar 7.8x10-6mbarl/sec• N2 1.0 bar He 0.8 bar 2.2x10-5mbarl/sec
• The leak was not fixed at SIMIC by any means.
• We decided to bring the cryostat to PSI and perform a leak test

Way(s) out?
• Reduction of beam spot size on the target? (x,y 1.1 cm 0.5 cm)
– is it achievable by shrinking the target (not this year)– Background ? Investigate...
Increase of the magnetic field?– shrinking of the bending radius by 1 cm needed increase of B by 7% (B0 = 1.26 T 1.35 T)
distortion of hit pattern on TC? might it affect COBRA behaviour?

DAQ rate vs. amount of data
• DAQ speed is not a limiting factor• The total data size needs solution:
– 30 Hz is maximal VME speed for full waveforms → >270 MB/sec
– Data transmission limit is 20 MB/sec (=250TB/year)→ need online reduction 10x (M. Grassi’s and R. Sawada’s talk)
– Storage limit is 30 TB/year→ need offline reduction 8x (R. Sawada’s talk)

mounted on the TC detector, installation in Aug 07 • Hit registers: mezzanine boards produced, FPGA firmware
ready (PSI GPVME board), installation in Aug 07 • Trigger: installed, operational, built-in debugging and control
tool, need tuning after detector turn on, test in Dec 06• DRS2: installed, operational, good for timing, temperature
dependence, usable with DC• DRS3: prototype test phase, final solution, not available in
2007• Aux digitizer: production problem solved, prototype test
completed successfully, ready for 2007 run • DAQ: installed, operational, good performances, test in Dec
06 run
The electronics and the DAQ systems are expected to be ready for the 2007 run
