The weekly win for this week is the conditioning team’s efforts in the ramp simulations. In 2.5 days we put the Nb23 through approximately 16 hours of ramping simulations. On Friday we continuously ramp-conditioned the electrodes for 8.5 hours at 40 kV/mm = 400 kV/cm, which is our current record for
a) longest ramp simulation
b) highest field ramp simulation
