    keyword=Optics plan for 2.254GeV with 5.01T at 90 degrees target field

    Here is the optics plan for 2.254GeV with 5.01T at 90 degrees target field. Before doing optics, beam center and slow raster size have to be determined. L-HRS and R-HRS start at 0% (P0=2.251 geV/c), assuming right septum current can go a high as 965A. Take 2 runs(each run 500k events) for each point.

    0. Draining LHe, take C12 data at the same time. (40 minutes)

    1. Pointing: 250-mil-CH2, sieve in ,delta=0, no rasters (30 minutes) Take data till the H peak of a normal sieve hole can be fit. 2. Acceptance calibration, part 1: C12, sieve in, delta=0 (10 minutes) 1) both rasters on

    3. Beam position scan: C12, delta=0; sieve in, slow raster only, (80 minutes, 25 minutes each setting) Config the slow raster to jump in the following way: 1)between (x=-5, y=-5) and (5,5) 2)between x=0, y=+/-5 3)between x=+/-5, y=0

    4. Delta scan: 100-mil-C12, sieve in , no raster (3 hours) Cycle Left Q2 and Q3, started from -3% at left arm and 0% at right arm. Left HRS: 0%, 1%, 3%, Cycle Left Q2 and Q3 to -3%, -1% Right HRS: 0%, 1%, 3.5%

    **Escorted access to move sieve out when finish, and ramp dipoles back to 0% (40 minutes)

    5. Acceptance calibration, part2: C12, sieve out, delta=0 (20 minutes) 1) no rasters 2) both rasters

    Estimated time: 7 hours

    At the end of the optics, refill LHe, change to the 1st production point, start dilution runs then polarize NH3 target.
