Experts will continue to investigate and try to rectify the problem tomorrow. 21 April 2024 22:35 Machine update:- We have a problem with 2RF8 Anode Power Supply continually tripping. We have a machine expert on route to the facility to investigate to fault. 21 April 2024 16:00 The following Beam lines are cleared for beam: E2 SANS2D N7 POLARIS CHIPIR has passed radiation survey and awaiting ISMP sign off before being released. 21 April 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 20 April 2024 22:55 Machine update:- Beam setup has progressed well. Muon target 1 has been inserted and out gassed and we will be out gassing the other Muon targets overnight, whilst continuing to run 50Hz beam. 20 April 2024 18:45 The following beam lines are cleared for beam: N1 SANDALS NA ALF N4 CRISP N5 LOQ N6 IRIS/OSIRIS N8 TOSCA N8A INES N9 EMMA S1 MAPS S2 VESUVIO S3 SXD S4 MERLIN S8 ENGINX/HRPD S9 PEARL 20 April 2024 15:41 The following beam lines have been cleared for beam. Machine physics will continue for the rest of the day with possible intermittent beam to both targets. Overnight we plan to run MS beam to both targets.

Machine physics will continue over the weekend to setup ISIS for higher rep rates. 19 April 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 18 April 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 17 April 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 16 April 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 21 March 2024 15:45 Machine update:- Following the investigations into the methane moderator on TS1, the Target Ops Team have concluded that the fix will take several days and will require a spare Cryo cooler to be fitted. Therefore, we cannot restart on TS1 and user cycle on TS1 has now ended. The team are currently making arrangements on TS1 to allow machine physics to start (without an operating TS1 methane moderator). This will be intermittent beam at low rep rate only. The user cycle on TS2 will end on Friday morning as planned. 21 March 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 20 March 2024 22:22 Machine update:- MS beam restored to Target 2. 20 March 2024 21:58 Machine update:- Due to continuing problems with kicker 1 negative, a decision has been made to change the inverter module. This will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Next update 23:00hrs if beam not restored before. 20 March 2024 14:48 Update for TS1 Users: Our Target Engineers have been into the TSA and discovered a significant oil leak on the CH4 moderator cryogenerator. This will need remedial work meaning we can't beam to TS1. The CH4 system will be warmed up overnight in order to work on it in the morning. Hopefully we will be able to provide further information on timescales / repairs by mid-day tomorrow. 20 March 2024 14:14 We are having problems with an Extract Kicker power supply. Our equipment experts are working on the fault and we hope to restore beam soon. 20 March 2024 12:06 TS1 Users: Update to last message. TS1 personnel need to access the services area at 13:30 Hours. They will require at least an hour to investigate the moderator issue. We will give an update when we have been more information. 20 March 2024 11:43 Attention TS1 users: There is an issue with the TS1 Methane moderator cryogenerator. We need to investigate this to avoid further problems. We have performed a mode change to run to TS2 only. Target personnel advise us that beam may be off for 2 Hours. We will update if we are given any more information. 20 March 2024 09:18 The Kicker power supply repair has been completed quicker than we estimated. Beam on. 20 March 2024 08:41 Update on Kicker power supply issues: Our Engineers have traced the fault to a faulty Thyratron. This is currently being replaced and will take at least two hours. Update at 11:00 Hours. 20 March 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 20 March 2024 07:50 We are having issues with the Extract Kicker power supplies, We have equipment engineers coming to site to investigate. Update at 09:00 Hours 19 March 2024 12:54 Beam ON 19 March 2024 12:44 We are working on an Extract Kicker power supply fault. We hope to restore beam soon. 19 March 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes 18 March 2024 16:06 Beam ON 18 March 2024 14:15 Our RF Engineers have reported that there is damage to one of the Fundamental RF system filament supply variacs. This will need to be replaced and may take up to 3 hours. We will update on progress at 16:30 Hours 18 March 2024 13:35 We have a problem with one of the Synchrotron RF systems which requires investigating immediately. Our RF Engineers are working on it and we hope to restore beam within an Hour. 18 March 2024 08:40 Attention TS1 Methane Moderator Users: a liquid transfer will start in around 5 minutes
