    keyword=Swing shift summary

    Shift begins in production running. L-HRS & R-HRS runs (2187, 21087) are in progress. HAPPEX run 31366 is in progress; it was started at 14:19. Compton run 16893 is in progress.

    16:30---Start new Compton run 16894.

    16:36---Continue production running.

    	2188	21088
    

    16:40---Stop the runs to make a change in the scalers. Continue production running.

    	2189	21089
    

    16:52---Doug & Brad are changing the BCM coefficents. Stopped the runs (2189, 21089). Eventually we realize that there is about 1.5 uA of witness beam going to the BSY dump. So 0L02 shows about 1.5 uA higher than Hall A BCM.

    16:55---Continue production running.

    	2190	21090
    	2191	21091
    	2192	21092
    

    18:05---R-HRS Q1 ramped down. Stopped runs (2192, 21092).

    Tried to ramp it up, it came up a little ways and then ramped back down. Called RC; pushed the green button for local reset. Tried to ramp up; it got up to about 500 A, then ramped down.

    RC says run on the left, and he'll call around to see what to do.

    18:18---Start runs (2193, 21093). R-HRS Q1 is at zero amps.

    R-HRS Q1 is being ramped up by someone remotely.

    18:41---R-HRS is up and seems to be regulating.

    Stop runs (2193, 21093). Resume production running:

    	2194	21094
    

    19:12---Started new HAPPEX (31367) and Compton (16895) runs. Continuing production running.

    	2195	21095
    	2196	21096
    	2197	21097
    

    20:16---We notice the Compton machine is frozen. The last update of the clock was at 19:30 or so. RC called about it just as we noticed the problem. The Compton expert is being notified (by email).

    RC says leave it alone until morning, if Compton expert doesn't respond to email this evening.

    20:39---TO does an NMR sweep after runs (2197, 21097). Polarization is 61.6%.

    Continuing production running.

    	2198	21098
    	2199	21099
    	2200	21100
    	2201	21101
    	2202	21102
    	2203	21103
    

    23:28---New HAPPEX run: 31368.

    23:46---Continuing production running.

    	2204	21104
    

    Shift ends with runs (2204, 21104) in progress.

    Compton DAQ is still frozen; will be attended to in the morning.
