#* DeA: timing settings are ok. We see some different behavior between 120 and 240 flip rate.
 +
#* DeA: (slide 6) the non linearity for 6 and 10 nA show a very narrow range in HV that is reasonable. KK: 6 nA is not terrible since we can go to 600 V and we should be fine. DeA: the error bars are statistical uncertainty (RMS/mean)
 +
#* DeA: (slides 7-10) show similar features.
 +
#* DeA: comparing 120 and 240 at 6 and 10 nA shows something odd. KK: worry that there is something wrong, because I can’t imagine what would produce such behavior. DM: will look at faster flip rates to see what is going to happen.
 +
#* DeA: will look at 30 Hz flip rate as well.
 +
#* KK: we really need to understand what is happening before we move forward. Would like to have the option to run at 240 for PREX. DM: will explore the timing a bit more and different flipping rates. Hope to brainstorm at the collaboration meeting.

#* CC: at the end of September the Tritium experiment saw some noise in the BPMs. The harp scans do not show significant noise in the positions.
 +
#* CC: this stopped after some issues were resolved in the injector (beam loss related). The noise in fourier space was removed after that.
 +
#* CC: Tom Powers thinks that this could be related to current modulations at very high rate 10kHz.
