Primary Objectives:
1.) Microwave homogeneity Study - This is work to study how well a whole cell is irradiated as well as how good the microwave irradiates the cell below through the material at resonance (This has become a concern in regards to how best to irradiate a given cell and also what sort of systematic error to expect in the polarization.  This is an added error for this experimental configuration beyond what is seen in Jlab polarized target runs simply because of the longer cell and and in-homogeneity of the microwave profile.)

Goals:
1.) Measure how much of the microwave is able to pass through the target cell (when at resonance and not)
2.) Measure the profile of the microwave along z-axis and determine if the polarization will be effected by this distribution at each target location (three cells).

Procedure 1.)
prep:
- Setup stick, NMR, software, fridge, mag
- Calibrate sensors (resistance to temp convert): fix resistors in cryostat and pump down recording resistance and 4He-pressure(temp)
- Check similar sensor sensitivity to with and without microwaves, at different temperatures, and at different microwave power, check reproduciblity 
- Install NMR coils, temp sensors, and foil wall reflectors for each study as needed
measurements:
- Fix sensors on insert top and bot of cup and measure temp change at three locations along z-axis with foil wall on each side (completed)
- Fill with NH3 and repeat when at resonance and not at resonance (completed)
- Put 6 sensors on top cup, 3 top and 3 bot measure profile, then fill with NH3 and polarized to saturation (incomplete: did take data but not saturated)

Preliminary Conclusion: Having the resistors mounted to any sort of board is likely interfering with the profile significantly, however we do see changes as a function of frequency along the z-direction, we also see changes above and below a cup at resonance by a measurable amount but roughly 80% is passing through.  Metal reflectors on the ends of the cups make the frequency dependence much less reproducible and its difficult to correlate this with polarization in the middle cups which show : MB=50.7%, MA=50.2%, MC=56.1%.  These values show the same order (or larger) of deviation from coil to coil but much lower.  This is likely due to the distortion of the profile from the sensors and board.  These cups are also surrounded in foil shielding them from microwaves that might otherwise be bouncing around in the nose (simulations see to back this possibility).  This seems to be confirmed by the top cup polarizing to +90% and -92%, but only studies on one coil in this case.  Over all these is more evidence that we are limited in power, especially in the lower cups.

Moving forward:  That we see greater polarization on lower cups without the foil boundary means that the nose geometry is very important the full irradiation of the cells.  The polarization miss-match and the results of the frequency dependence implies that there maybe a larger systematic error
to be concerned with in the polarization value.  We maybe able to address this with modulation of the power supply.  It may also help to use strategically placed reflectors.  From these initial studies is appears that we can't expect to get systematic error smaller than 7% relative in polarization because of these homogeneity issues. 

2.) Slow Controls Setup tests
Primary Objectives: Testing all subsystems with running software for monitoring and controls and test for hardware/software reliability on full system

Goals:Run each system including level monitors, temperature sensors on fridge and stick, pressure, and flows, microwave controls, full cryocontrols, take continuous data on all monitoring systems and set up of automatic steady state running 
Procedure 1.) Setup All hardware and software, already preformed warm bench test on all devices and controls
prep: limited in number of cable connections so only can run flow or pressure, setup magnet boil off first, then main flow, then pressure 

Results: Lots of data collected from the cooldown running for many of the systems, however several [major] hardware failures limit the completeness of the study

Hardware Issues:
MKS Main flow measurement is restrictive (need larger dim)
MKS Separator flow does not work in cold test
MKS Pressure manometer has failed and can not be use in calibration runs or comparison studies 

Software Issues:
Some tests not complete because of hardware fails
Cryocontrols test (incomplete)
Microwave system (complete, OK)
Stick Sensors (complete, not OK)
Fridge Sensors (complete, 2 need repair)
Magnet Sensors (complete, 2 need repair)
Level Monitors (complete, OK but not that reliable)
Run/Bypass Valve software (complete, OK)
Run/Bypass Valve hardware (incomplete, leaky valve)
Turbo System software (incomplete, not made)
Turbo System Hardware (incomplete, not ready)

3.) NMR tests

took several iterations with microwave off and on for ratio and comparison study on one coil
