Beam Dumps Added and Moved for JAC

J. Wright, J. Oberling

As part of WP 13006, we added another beam dump and moved one to ensure all stray beams that we could find were properly dumped.

We added the required beam dump on the unused output port of the JAC, to dump the unused beam here.  We also moved the beam dump that catches the leakage beam through JM2 so that it continues to dump this leakage beam in JM2's new location (needed to move JM2 as a result of EOM installation).  See the 2 attached pictures.

While scanning for other stray beams, I noticed a beam on the outside of the large beam dump that was temporarily relocated to the +X side of the new JAC input periscope.  This was traced to the JAC REFL path.  Turns out that when the REFL path was installed, the beam was erroneously reflected off of this beam dump on its way from JACR-M1 to JACR-M2.  To fix this we had to loosen the dog clamps for JACR-M1 and physically rotate it until the beam was centered on JACR-M2 (there wasn't enough range in the yaw actuator).  We then had to loosen and physically rotate JACR-M2 so that the REFL beam was once again captured in its temporary beam dump (dump located on the -Y side of the ISI).  Both mirrors were re-secured to the table.  Unfortunately, this means that we will have to revisit REFL path alignment to the new IOT1 table.
