Production Run Plan R-HRS

Proton Elastic Kinematics
* If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure. * Elastic electron rates assume 20 μA on 15 cm LH2 target, 5 mSr acceptance. * Use the following prescale factors: ps1=1, ps2=1, ps3=1, ps8=100. All other triggers should have zero prescale factor. * For the optics pointing run, decrease the spectrometer momentum to 0.85 GeV/c. The right dipole will need about 1.5 hours to settle. * Take one hour on the optics target. * After the optics run is completed, then increase the spectrometer momentum back to the elastic setting.
Make sure to cycle the right Q2 and Q3 when increasing the momentum. * The 15 cm dummy runs need to be taken at the elastic setting. So keep the momentum as is for this run. * A GMp expert will check the data quality.
