Run plan for DVCS Fall 2010
Proton and Deuterium target
Beam request
beam intensity = 10 uA (LH2) and 4 uA (LD2)
targets : 15 cm LH2 and LD2
- proton: 400h (production with 3 beam energies 6 (100 h), 4.8
(240 h) and 3.6 (60h) GeV) + 72h (calib) + 72h (curring)
- neutron: 400h (production at 2 beam energies: 6 and 4.8 GeV)
- PAC days to calendar days (0.5 efficiency): 872*2+ 72= 1816
hours = 76 days.
Accelerator run plan
- Install : May 25 - Sept 3
- Restore : Sept 4 - Sept 5 (Saturday-Sunday)
- Commissionning : Sept 6 -- Sept 13 (one week)
- Production : Sept 14 - Nov 23 (41 days : 5 passes and 30 days
: 4 passes)
- Thanks-giving break : Nov 24 - Nov 28
- Restore : Nov 29 (Monday)
- Production: Nov 30 - Dec 7 (8 days : 4 passes)
41+38=79 days.
5 passes = 5.56 GeV, polarization = 75.5% * pmax= 64% longitudinal
4 passes = 4.46 GeV, polarization = 79.9% * pmax= 68% longitudinal

Commissionning goals
- Beamline:
- Transport beam through the Hall:
- Do we really want to use the Compton?
- What do we want for the intrisic beam size?
- What is a good beam for us?
- Raster : which size?
- Beam intensity : use unser (noise 0.2 uA over 4 uA= 5%,
stated lumi precision=1%)
- Target :
- Do we want to use solid targets (target cell wall, optics target)
- Target boiling : use anode current measurement from
the calorimeter
- HRS:
Negative polarity, DIS data.
- Detector efficiency?
- Sieve slit data?
- Calorimeter:
- Gain calibration: elastic/pi0 mass?
- Electronic/DAQ:
- Timing du trigger
- Test of calo trigger
- Test of the HRS-Calo trigger
- Estimate pile-up in the ARS.
- Measure dead time of the trigger system (HRS+calo) by
taking data at different beam current.
Production
- For Kines 2: interleave proton and neutron data taking.
- Monitor the anode current of the pmts of the calorimeter, check
for 20% decrease.
- Gain calibration ?
