19:30 4 ua in Hall A
Megan and others are using beam to test Compton polarimeter
Left dipole is still down
Hareboot27 right dipole after several tries it looks like its working
Field is fluctuating but NMR is locked???
Jack Segal just came in
Going to check left dipole controls and Q2 in the trailer.
Jack says "The scope shows the NMR on the Right Dipole is locked in. The field readback is all over the map. I think we have fried a NMR meter in some fashion. If someone knows of a quirk in the meter that would do this please call and let us know. The current readback is very stable. Perhaps it would be best to set the current and just run hoping that the current readback is as accurate as we need."
Right dipole
Jack found May 7 screen shot and read off the RHRS
current as 364.75. Then adjusted the set current to 361.808 until the readback current was 364.75. Since the D-N read back dipole field is fluctuating wildly, you can look at the D-G read back value which is stable -0.39080.
At 9:30 PM MCC took the beam to retune to give Hall B more stable beam. Promise beam back in a few minutes.
22:35
Compton polarimeter studies ended because MCC can not do harp scan.
Prepare for production running.
Follow standard prescription

No put lead target number 2 in
Change slits back to position 13
Rate is 43 KHz
Beam looks good on spot
Request 5 ua of beam. Change slits
Now request 50 ua
Midnight Shift change
