Shift-worker responsibilities

Read, understandd and sign the safety documentation of the experiments.

Shift Leader

  • Maintain data taking quality and an efficient use of beam time.
  • Follow the directives in the COO
  • Log the following in a shift summary in the HALOG:
    • run list (describing the goal of this run: eg production on LH2, BMC calibration...) and report main statistics numbers
    • any major events, including accesses

Target Operator

  • Watch the target, see Target Info
  • Assist the shift leader and third person

Third person

  • Start and stop the DAQ.
  • Do online replay of all production runs;
  • Compare replay histograms with the sample ones and report to shift leader any unexplained differences. Halog them.
  • Fill the shift checklist ([| here]) once a shift. For guidance in filling the checklist, please see the checklist how-to ([| here]). If both the Shift Checklist and the Shift Checklist How-to need to be modified, the .doc files can be obtained from ELOG entry [| 255].
  • The shift leader or TO can help.


Beam Recovery Procedure

Update: October 24, 2010.

  • Empty target, establish correct beam position</li>
    • 5 uA empty target
    • BPM4A (X,Y) = ( 0.0, 0.0) mm
    • BPM4B (X,Y) = ( 0.0, 0.0) mm
    • See white board for updates on these.
    • Tolerances on these :   +/- 0.3 mm
  • In standard configuration we run without the raster (ok on cryotarget if beam current is less than 5uA)
  • Put in BeO target, for visual check of spot (if camera still works)
    • 10 uA rastered beam on BeO.
