To compensate for the velocity differences of the hadrons and electrons in the Electron-Ion Collider, the hadron beam will be operated in a large range of the radial displacement (±20 mm in the 64 mm wide vacuum chamber). Machine protection and beam optics measurement require high-accuracy calculations of the beam position from the signal induced on the pickup electrodes. For the HSR, we need at least the fifth-order polynomial fit, which provides 70 microns r.m.s. error in the 40 by 20 mm region of interest as shown in Fig. 1. The calculations are made using a MATLAB script solving the 2D electrostatic problem.

GBE Shielding Gas Disturbance Metric (GBESGDM) is sensitive to shielding gas disturbances caused by: (1) lack of shielding due to decreasing gas flow rate; (2) change in shielding gas composition; (3) dirty/contaminated base plate; and (4) changes in welding parameters.

We report the combined results of eight searches for strong gravitational lens systems in the full 5000 square degrees of Dark Energy Survey (DES) observations. The observations accumulated by the end of the third observing season fully covered the DES footprint in five filters (grizY), with an i-band limiting magnitude (at 10σ) of 23.44. In four searches, a list of potential candidates was identified using a color and magnitude selection from the object catalogs created from the first three observing seasons. Three other searches were conducted at the locations of previously identified galaxy clusters. Cutout images of potential candidates were then visually scanned using an object viewer. An additional set of candidates came from a data-quality check of a subset of the color–coadd tiles created from the full DES six-season data set. A short list of the most promising strong-lens candidates was then numerically ranked according to whether or not we judged them to be bona fide strong gravitational lens systems. These searches discovered a diverse set of 247 strong-lens candidate systems, of which 81 are identified for the first time. We provide the coordinates, magnitudes, and photometric properties of the lens and source objects, and an estimate of the Einstein radius for 81 new systems and 166 previously reported systems. This catalog will be of use for selecting interesting systems for detailed follow up, studies of galaxy cluster and group mass profiles, as well as a training/validation set for automated strong-lens searches.
