Last update: Sunday 09-26-2010

Absolute best-case scenario:

  • Monday 09-27-2010: DAY shift
    • start cooling magnets
  • Monday 09-27-2010: SWING (or late-Day)
    • lockup
    • hot checkout (MCC)
    • start threading beam to the Hall
  • Tuesday 09-28-2010: OWL
    • start commissioning


Beam without any cryo and no target

We will start with a 5 passes beam.

  • Getting beam threaded down to the dump for the first time
  • Beam quality optimization study

Goal: optimize beam quality to limit noise in calorimeter
Need: working Compton photon detector with appropriate HV and threshold settings, working Compton DAQ that can provide scaler data to the appropriate EPICS channel
Contact: Eric Fuchey for Compton, Jay, MCC support for beam manipulation)

  • BCM calibration

Goal: calibrate BCM readings between 0 and 20 uA, with special care to readings between 2 and 7 uA
Need: BCMs reading at least through EPICS
Method: MCC procedure (MCC-PR-04-008)
Contact: J. Roche

  • BPM calibration

Goal: check response of the BPMs to know motion of the beam
Need: Harps working, BPMs reading at least through EPICS, 5uA beam
Method: For each of the following approximative beam position, record beam position with the BPMS and with the harps. Beam position : (0,0), (0,2), (0,-2), (2,0), (-2,0) Contact: J. Roche.

  • Raster size calibration

Goal: to check the raster size against effective readout.
Need: BPM calibration, 5uA, BPM readings in a coda file (Need to define DAQ setting)
Method: vary the size of the raster.
