    Owl Shift Summary
    =================
    Plan: SRC Slanted Carbon Runs

    Kinematic Settings
    Please note that all times are approximate
    0:00Beam down, controlled access to start warming up target.
    0:30Target warmup started, switched to slanted carbon target.
    1:00Switched to BeO target for beam recovery.
    Target warmed up enough to cause the vacuum pressure to spike, stopping beam.
    1:15Called RC about the vacuum pressure. Waited for pressure to stabilize before returning to beam.
    2:00Went through the beam recovery process.
    2:15Switched to slanted carbon and asked for 5 μA.
    Gave Tai several runs to check BB HV values.
    2:45Attempted to use new prescales resulting in a DAQ rate of 1 kHz, but that resulted in unnacceptable deadtime.
    3:10Returned to original prescales.
    3:15Attempted to change prescales to get an acceptable rate.
    3:45Contacted RC to check about rates, increased current to 10 μA and adjusted prescales to match rates from deueterium measurements as closely as possible.
    5:00Decreased current to 5 μA at Eli's suggestion to make sure the target chamber isn't too hot in the morning.
    5:10Increased current to 10 μA because the T5 rates were too low.
    7:00Beam shut off. Asked for restricted access. Started taking cosmics runs.
    8:00Survey finished, moved to restricted access.
    Shift ended. No replacement with Day Shift cancelled.
