The Hall A Compton
The Compton polarimeter is used to (non-invasively) monitor polarization of the incoming electron beam. It has three major components: an optics table with a laser that can lock to a Fabry-Perot cavity, an electron detector, and a photon detector to count scattered electrons and photons, respectively.

Shift Workers' Operation Guide
Start a Compton run every two hours.
The Compton DAQ is located in the back room in the Counting House. All commands are done from compton@compton.
If CODA is not already running:
- Kill CODA first, then start it up again:
$ kcoda $ startcoda
- A few new Terminal windows and a GUI pop up.
- Let "top" refer to the bar with named menu options near the top of the GUI (ex: Platform, Sessions, etc). Let "bottom" refer to the bar below "top" that contains a line of buttons (hover over them to reveal their labels; starting with "Configuration" on the left).
- In top, select: Platform > Connect
- In bottom, click on "Configuration" button.
- If configuration listed in the "Run Parameters" box is not FADC_prod: in top, select Configurations > Cool and change it to FADC_Prod.
- In bottom, click on "Download" button
- In bottom, click on "Prestart" button
- When ready to start run, click "Start" button. Typical run duration: 2 hours. Type in any Start Of Run comments in the box. Click "OK" (even if you left comments blank!).
- When ready to stop run, click "End" button. Type in any End Of Run comments in the box. Click "OK" (even if you left comments blank!).

Taking an LED run:
- Find parameter file GUI:

- Click "Pulser On, Pulser Trigger" on parameter file. Click "Apply", then "Done" to close GUI.
- Go to CODA. Start a new run to apply the settings. (This does not need to be a long run. You may end it immediately.)
- Start your LED run.
- When you go back to normal Compton runs: don't forget to turn the pulser off and do a short run to update the parameter file settings!

Helicity controls
From within NewTools controls (see first few steps in Compton Photon Detector Compton GUI section):
- On far right of JTabs menu, there are "master" controls. Find and click on Tools Screen.
- Go to the helicity controls. (The default is delayed, so be careful of this.)
Current Scripts
As a brief check, run plotAsymSpectrum.C.
PREX-II/CREX Compton Analysis
We've reworked the analysis to streamline finding the most important plots. We've adopted the analysis GUI used by panguin and other online monitors for Hall A experiments. To run, follow the steps below.
Online Analysis Steps and Checks
- Using the directions at the top of the page, open CODA and start a run.
- Open a terminal and login using
ssh -Y compton@compton.jlab.org
- Enter command
gocompton
- First run compmon to analyze the run. To this use command
./compmon.sh -r <run number>
- Once the run is finished analyzing and errors are logged, enter
source online.csh -r <run number>
. This will create the plots in the GUI window. - Look at the plots in the following tabs:
- Snapshots: This window has one plot of snapshot peak height vs sum. Plot should look starkly linear. Plot also has the percentage of snapshots that pass an arbitrary selection criteria. I find healthy runs have about 80% of snapshots pass.
- Spectra: Plots compton spectrum broken down by beam and laser state. Is the compton edge where we expect it to be? Are Brem events low when beam or laser is off?
- Acc0: Plots of accumulator 0. Are they gaussian? Does the mean of the beam ON, laser ON plot differ from all the others?
- Acc0 vs Time: Plots of accumulator 0 value vs mps number. Are the accumulator values drifting significantly with time?Are beam trips readily noticeable?
- Asym and Polarization: Includes plots of the quartet sums, differences and asymmetry. Do they all look roughly gaussian? Are there no double-peaking effects? Does the calculated polarization yield some reasonable value?
- Asyms vs Time: Plots of the above vs time. Is there any significant drift in any of the quantities vs time?
- Asym Spectrum: As of 2019-07-31 this plot is not working. Background subtraction needs to be more carefully refined.
- Once you click "Exit GUI" the same plots will be generated and saved to the compton plots web page for easy review.
Making Custom Plots
There are macros which make other compton plots which have been useful in the past, but are not being maintained anymore. To be certain, you can make your own plots to slake your curiosity. The following is description of CompMon output, the branches, as well as certain variables which you may find useful.
- General Variables: These variables may be found stored in multiple trees and should come in handy:
- helicityStateReported: 0 for negative, 1 for positive
- laserState: 0 for right-hand polarization and laser on, 1 for left-hand polarization and laser on, 2 for right hand polarization and laser off, 3 for left hand polarization and laser off, 4 for unknown state
- beamState: 0 for beam off, 1 for beam on, 2 for unknown beam state.
- cavPowerCalibrated: laser cavity power
- bcm: calibrated BCM signal
- mpswise: A tree of data stored per MPS
- mpsCoda: MPS number
- Acc#: Accumulator total for number #
- NAcc#: Number of accumulator samples per MPS for accumulator number #
- numTriggers: Number of triggered sums in current MPS
- triggerwise: A tree of variables stored per trigger
- sum: Total sum of trigger
- sumIsRandom: 0 if sum is real, 1 if it is random
- quartetwise: A tree of variables stored per quartet
- PosHelAcc#: Sum of accumulator number # for positive helicity states in the quartet
- PosHelNSamples#: Number of samples for accumulator number # for positive helicity states in the quartet
- NegHelAcc#: Sum of accumulator number # for negative helicity states in the quartet
- NegHelNSamples#: Number of samples for accumulator number # for negative helicity states in the quartet
- quartetReportedHelicityPattern: Two different values, one for each valid quartet pattern
- snapshots: A list of variables and snapshot readouts for each snapshot taken
- numSamples: Number of samples in snapshots
- snap: An array variable with numSamples entries that details the fADC readout of the snapshot
- pulserwise: A tree of variables stored per pulser cycle. (SHOULD ONLY BE NEEDED BY EXPERTS)
- runwise: A tree of variables stored per run. This tree only has one entry per leaf, and details info about pedestals.
- epicswise: A tree of variables taken per EPICS event. These variables are also stored in other trees, so they can be accessed from there.
This is in addition to the inbuilt histograms produced in every CompMon output file. This should be more than enough to diagnose any compton DAQ problems.
Compton electron detector
Compton new counting DAQ
A new event based counting Compton DAQ is being developped.
It uses a VXS crate, the Intel CPU is acomp1.
It has 1 JLAB FADC250 in slot 10 VME address 0x500000, on SD and one VTP hostname hallcvtp in central slots. Currently there are 3 VETROCs in slot 13,14,15 respective addresses are 0x680000,0x700000,0x780000.
To look at the VETROC rates, there is a diagnostic program /home/compton/camsonne/Edet2019/fe_diaggui

Code can be found on github: https://github.com/JeffersonLab/HallA_CompMon JC says:
The Makefile is ancient (since it has to work on old systems too) but there is an easy "fix". In the src/config.d directory, create a file similar to cornejo_compton_jlab.conf but modify the paths respectively. Then run ./config config.d/<your_config_file> It will update the silly Makefile accordingly
Some old data and examples can be found on
