    When MCC is ready to re-establish CW beam:
    • If Eugene is still around and willing, finish up the Moller measurement.
    • Insert the BeO target, make sure it is visible on the target camera and the spot matches the marker spot on the screen.
    • Have MCC perform a HARP scan. Post the result (the x and y widths) in the HALOG. These should be ~100µm. +/- 30µm. is OK. +/- 100µm is right out.
    • Move to Empty target position. Turn on the HV to the Bigbite trigger planes (S0 through S7) and the Bigbite MWDC (S14).
      • Check the T1 and T2 rates (on BigBite Scaler screen) to establish a baseline. HALOG them.
    • Move to Holey Carbon target. Check T1 and T2 rates and compare to rates obtained from empty target. They should be comparable. If not... need to find the Hole in the target. See below.
    • Continue production running. LHRS angle = 16.5°, p0=0.986GeV/c. 1M events/run. Set all prescales to have T1, T2, T3, T4, T7, T8 at 10Hz.. prescales for T5 and T6 set to 1.
    Too much rate from holey carbon. Must find the hole.
    • Ask MCC to turn on the raster to (1.5mm x 1.0mm).
    • Take a run, and run spot++. You should see a spot in the Canvas that appears in the square/rectangular pattern (Title: Raster X vs Y (current)).
    • Iterate with MCC to move the beam left/right and up/down to center the hole in the pattern. (Taking one run for each change in position).
    • Once the hole is centered, have MCC turn off the raster. Check the T1 and T2 rates in bigbite.
    • If none of this has helped.... *sigh* page the Run Coordinator
