Entry  Wed Mar 1 12:51:33 2023, MP, Runs, , Beam, beam on the target 
Beam on the target:

target+stopper+beam dump: 25 enA   (1.7 pnA)    not stable
Entry  Fri Mar 3 10:09:20 2023, IP. KWL, Runs, , General, beam intensity decreased to 0.3 enA (at beam dump) on our request  Ge_beamInten_03enA_differentYscale.pngGe_beamInten_03enA_sameYscale.png
// we noticed yesterday that GE at 143 degrees counts more than those placed at 117 and 101. The 511 keV line (+ background) is much more pronounced
for Ge at 143 degrees. To investigate this issue we decreased the beam intensity to 0.3 enA ( value given by operators at the beam dump ). 

Conclusion - decrease of the beam intensity does not explain above observations (se attached figs)
Entry  Fri Mar 3 10:21:18 2023, IP. KWL, Runs, , General, beam intensity back to 1.25 enA at the beam dump 
we increased beam intensity to 1.25 enA (readout at the beam dump)

Beam energy measured:  148.2 MeV
Mind that this may be an overestimate (by ~1-2 MeV)

Entry  Thu Mar 9 01:41:50 2023, GJ, Problem Fixed, , Hardware, TS zeroing - cables to S-IN from VME controller - between runs 49 and 50 
Since we were observing jumps of 16 ns in timings of all channels of whole boards, the assumption was that the 
signals from logical FIFO arrive at different times to S-IN inputs to zero the TS counters.
6 originally placed cables of quite the same length were replaced with 6 cables of declared 3-ns length, same 
Entry  Thu Mar 2 09:05:43 2023, DOD, Problems, , , Sulphur on aluminium fusion-evaporation reactions 
Using  the data which we've sorted to date, I looked into the gamma-gamma coincidences and have identified a number of nuclei e.g. 50Cr, 52Mn,
55Fe which would be consistent with fusion-evaporation reactions involving the sulphur-32 projectiles and aluminium-27. Such reactions would yield a 59Cu
comound system and these channels would be populated as a result of the evaporation of a combination of alphas, protons and neutrons.
