What now?

Well now that the 900 is persistent at full field, what is next? The console (the Varian NMR System) has been delivered and is ready to be set up, but the magnet must first be allowed to stabilize for 10 days. This will allow the drift to settle in. Once the magnet has settled, the cryoshims will have to be run in (taking about 4 days), and then the magnet will start going through its final installation and testing. We have a long list of tests that must be run before the magnet/spectrometer will be accepted. But so far things are on track and we are hoping to be up and running soon. In the meantime, we will be working on improving this site. All potential users should feel free to make comments and suggestions for the facility, and participate in the online community that we will be setting up soon. We look forward to hearing from you.

900 at Field

The 900 went to field yesterday Thursday at about 11.30 am, and has been stable now for almost 24 hours.

Overnight drift looks promising, a little under 10 Hz an hour.

Update on 900

Well we reached 111 amps, its an 880 MHz. Geoff still has not seen the big Q. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it will be a long while before he does. We are leaving the magnet overnight to settle. Tomorrow will be 900 or bust!

Status of 900 Energization

Today we reached 105 Amps, that makes it an 832 MHz system.
It will be parked overnight and then tomorrow we go to 111 amps.

Welcome!
