Reestablish Beam Procedure
This procedure is to be run every time we recover from an extended beam down (>3 hours).
- Harp Scans
- Move target to HOME position (if not already there) (mask target motion!)
- Turn VDC HV OFF for both arms.
- Turn DVCS Calo HV OFF
- Ask MCC for Raster OFF (check that it turns off in the scope)
- Ask MCC to perform Harp Scans (on IHA1H04A and IHA1H04B)
- Must have three peaks on each with a resolution of ~200-500 μm
- Have seen a "shoulder" on the last peak before. May be acceptable if other 2 peaks are fine.
- Ask MCC to make an ELOG with the results of the Harp Scans
- Beam Centering on Carbon Hole Target
- Move target to the Carbon Hole position (mask target motion!)
- Ensure Left-HRS momentum is ~1 GeV/c
- Set Left-HRS DAQ configuration to LeftHRSnew
- Set prescales as ps_i = 1 for i = 1-6, and ps=0 for all others
- Turn VDC HC OFF for both arms.
- Turn DVCS Calo HV OFF
- Ask MCC for Raster ON at 2x2 or whatever is on the whiteboard
- Check that it turns on in the scope, and check Raster GUI to confirm 2x2 setting
- Ask MCC for 5 μA beam
- Run spot_L as explained in the detailed instructions
- If not centered ask MCC to move beam accordingly (check board for coordinates)
- Repeat test with different beam position until target is centered.
- Raster Target
- Start the same settings as carbon hole centering
- Move to Raster Target (mask target motion!)
- Ask MCC for 5uA beam with Raster ON (2x2)
- Check rates and confirm they are consistent with rates seen during HOME position
- If the rates are low and consistent, then move on to next step
- If the rates are high, it may indicate the beam has an angle that causes the beam to scrape on an edge of the target
- Notify the RC
- Ask MCC to readjust BPM positions until this angle is removed
- When done, perform another Carbon Hole run just to be sure.
