AW: UCN kicker signal

["Robert Scheuermann" <robert.scheuermann@psi.ch>]

Dave,

Claude and Urs Rohrer told me later this day that kicker operation isn't an
issue this year.

Nevertheless, I want to be prepared for eventual (and probably not
announced) tests

- any thoughts on low-current power supplies for piE3 ???

Robert,

            Thanks for this important warning.  We will probably want to
do something similar regarding a pause in the data taking.  A signal of
some sorts is important.  We will need to talk it over here to see what
suits us best.

Hi,

 

what I have learned now is that UCN will run with 1% duty cycle using
the full beam kicked ecery 6-8 min. for about 7 seconds.

This will seriously disturb our ALC experiments. 

I will ask for the delivery of an 'kicker announcement signal' 10
seconds before kicking in order to stop our DAQ and start a WAIT gate.

 

Are there any (similar or additional) requirements from MuCAP or MuLAN?

 

regards

robert
