    keyword=run plan for overnight Wednesday

    Please keep track of the coulomb count for the good runs and record it in the shift summary! This is what we would like to use to determine when we will change kinematic settings.

    The plan for overnight is:

    * Take data at the current kinematic setting (#2 in the run plan). The goal is to collect the 810 mC of charge.

    * Call Doug when the Coulomb count approaches 810 mC (from the run ends). He'll come in to move the LHRS to the 38.5 degrees of kinematic setting #3. The momentum settings do not change.

    * Once the spectrometer is moved, ask for beam back, but adjust the current for this setting (up to as high as 50uA while keeping the deadtime below 15-20%). Call the RC if you think that the current should be higher than 50 uA. The prescales may need to be adjusted (see the white board).

    * Production at kinematic setting #3, collect 1418 mC. Once the current is determined (previous step) we can estimate how long it will take, but the goal is the amount of coulombs.

    * Take a 1 hr Al run and a 5 min BeO run in the middle of the production running.

    * If the 1418 mC at kinematic setting #3 is collected before morning (including the Al and BeO runs), move the LHRS to 25.5 degrees and increase the momentum to 552 MeV to collect 310 mC more data at kinematic setting #1. Only 300 mC of data was collected at this setting so far, so we need to return to it to complete the 610 mC total.

    Please don't hesitate to call the RC phone if you have any questions.
