Spring 2016 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.

Operation Guide

Instructions for shift workers to run Compton.

  1. Pre-check:
    1. Correct parameters for run in integratingDAQ.flags and compton.params?
    2. HV on/off? -> Compton#High Voltage Controls
  2. Start CODA:
In compton@compton: startcoda
A few new Terminal windows and a GUI pop up.
LT CODAgui.png
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).
  1. In top, select: Platform > Connect
  2. 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.
  3. In bottom, click on "Download" button
  4. In bottom, click on "Prestart" button
  5. When ready to start run, click "Start" button
  6. When ready to stop run, click "End" button
To close CODA and kill all related processes, type kcoda.
  1. Run Compton analysis:
    1. In compton@compton: cd /home/franklin/CompMon/
    2. Run analysis software: compmon [insert run number here, no brackets]
    3. Open ROOT: root lnkCompMon.output
    4. Run desired C script located in CompMon directory: .x [insert scriptname here, no brackets]
    5. Sip and admire.


Hardware

Electronics, etc.


Photon Detector Table

For controls, troubleshooting: Compton Photon Detector


High Voltage Controls

Know the HV channel and navigate to the GUI: HV Control GUI


Software & Data Analysis

Relevant files, scripts, etc.


Helicity controls

From within NewTools controls (see first few steps in Compton Photon Detector Compton GUI section):

  1. On far right of JTabs menu, there are "master" controls. Find and click on Tools Screen.
  2. Go to the helicity controls. (The default is delayed, so be careful of this.)


Compton Meetings

See last list entry for most recent meeting.
