    Owl Shift Summary
    =================
    Plan: HRS Sieve Optics

    Kinematic Settings

    Please note that all times are approximate
    0:00Beam still down, continuing from swing shift.
    Anomalous deadtime, under investigation.
    0:15Turned off FPP HV due to alarm.
    1:30MCC said beam was ready. Closed Hut doors, asked for beam permit.
    1:58MCC asked to send tune beam.
    2:08Turned off E/dE/HAND HV due to alarms.
    2:35MCC asked to send CW beam, with no Compton.
    2:405 µA beam supplied to Hall.
    2:45Moved target to 4cm LH2 to start sieve optics runs.
    3:05Low rate, asked MCC for 10 µA.
    3:20Realized low rate due to prescales not saved properly. Runs 1876-1878 prescaled for T7, all junk.
    3:45Realized we didn't do beam check, moving back to empty target to do so.
    3:50Asked MCC to do a harp scan and visual check on beam dump.
    4:00MCC couldn't see beam at dump at 5 or 20 µA, probably due to bad viewer.
    4:10Moved to BeO target, 5 µA, for visual check.
    4:20Raster turned off, saw beam on BeO target, asked for beam position change to 4A(-1.5,0), 4B(-3.5,2).
    4:30Beam centered. Started BeO run to check rates.
    4:45Target masked to move to 4cm LH2. Raster returned to 2x2 (6x4 MCC units).
    4:52Started first sieve optics run (1882).
    5:03Finished first run, moving to 4cm LD2.
    5:07Finished move, starting 4cm LD2 run.
    5:12Finished LD2 run, moving to optics target.
    5:22Moved to optics target, started run.
    5:39Finished optics target run, moving to LH2 for +2% runs, changed magnet momentum.
    5:48Started LH2 run, decreased beam current to 2.5 µA to reduce deadtime, started new LH2 +2% optics run.
    5:55Moved to LD2 for optics run.
    6:09Moved to carbon foils.
    6:15Started carbon foil run. Also, energy lock switched to Hall A.
    6:36Finished carbon foil run, moving to LH2 for , changed magnet momentum to 1.096 GeV/c.
    6:41Target moved, magnets set, changed prescales on T3 to 2, starting LH2 run.
    6:54Moving target to LD2.
    7:05Started LD2 run, PS3=2.
    7:14Moved to carbon foil, starting carbon foil options run +0%.
    7:30Moved to BeO.
    7:49Moved to 4cm aluminum dummy target.
    8:00Passed off to Day Shift.
