Is there a task number? How long is it going to take?

I looked at the 1L10 trips from the first of the year.  Cavity 2 has about 5 or 6 electronic quenches which is probably arcing on the cavity side of the cold window.  Other than that there were mostly microphonics based trips.  Probably related to tuners moving.  On a few trips were because a motor was oscillating.

None were quenches that looked like multipacting.

C75 limitations attached. Cavity 1 is at 11.8 as it encountered a beam line vacuum fault and quench repeatably at 12.3 MV/m. Please keep and eye on beam line and waveguide vacuum if you attempt to process that cavity. Cavity 8 also looks like it encounters beam line vacuum faults at ~15.5 MV/m.

2, 5 and 8 had 100 ms Quenches back in Sept.  That is an indication of a
multipactor.   They should be pulsed processed.

I don't know why cavity 1 is turned down so low.

I will check recent data for electronic quenches in 1L05 1 and 8 and 100
ms quenches everywhere else in 1L05 later this afternoon.

If you are processing 1 or 8 and the adjacent vacuum valve closes due to
an outburst you should stop doing that cavity so that you lower the risk
of the valve shedding particles.
