Tuesday, March 24: OWL Shift

Go back to Daily Run Plan Daily Run Plans

• General considerations
  • Brad Sawatzky is the current Run Coordinator. Please contact directly via RC phone 757-876-1787
  • Follow the generic Instructions for shift takers
  • Shift leaders: Please make sure to fill out the beam time accounting form and write a "Shift Summary" log entry at the end of your shift regardless if there is beam or not.
  • In general, Hall technical staff should not be contacted by the shift crew - please call the RC first.
  • The target operator is required to supervise the cryo-target.
  • Make sure to use the DVCS CODA configuration for all runs (even when taking single arm HRS data).

• Instructions for this shift
  • 0) Check the beam position
    • - request beam position: BPM A=(+2.5:-0.5), BPM B=(+2.5:+0.5)
  • 1) When beam first arrives to the Hall
    • - Ask MCC to run the Harps: 1C18A/B and 1C04A/B
    • - halog the results
  • 2) Confirm the beam position using the carbon hole target.
    • - request CW 5uA without raster
    • - check the scaler rate rastered target up to 2x2
  • 3) Run the right arm optic scan described here: (at the same time, take single DVCS run)
    • Here is the run plan for the R-HRS Q1 tune. This can be done before moving to LH2 target for DVCS running.
    • 1. Move target to Optics
    • 2. Set P0= 1.0 GeV/c, Q1 current = 192 A
    • 3. Set R-HRS prescale ps1=1, others=0 (should be already set, but check)
    • 4. Assuming 20uA beam current, take 5 min (or ~100k events) run for each of these Q1 currents:
  • ==> Q1 current: (current change is fast, no need to beam off)
    • ===> 192 A
    • ===> 202 A
    • ===> 223 A
    • ===> 234 A
    • 5. Move to LH2 target to continue DVCS runs
    • 6. Change R-HRS P0 = 1.896 GeV (need to cycle Q2/Q3) - (turn off regulator for Q2/Q3, set I =1600A. turn on regulator)
    • 7. Set Q1 current to 403.8 A
    • 8. When D1 is ready start R-HRS runs.
    • 9. halog all the run numbers with Q1 current

• • 4) Turn on DVCS HV
  • 5) Move to LH2, 2x2 raster, 10uA CW
    • - Take 2 1hr runs with DVCS DAQ
    • - After the first run finished, page Carlos. He will change the calorimeter to the 2nd elastic setting

• • • Beamline commissioning how-to.
