Solid Polarized Target

Training Materials

Training for g2p target operators will consist of a brief online quiz on the topics covered here on the Wiki, followed by a practical course when the target is installed and running in the hall.

• Practical Primer on the UVa Target
• Polarization Display Panel (PDP) Overview
• Target Operator Duties

Take the quiz after you've read the above primer closely, and taken a look at the two others as well:

• Online Target Operator Quiz
  • List of Certified Target Operators

Operational Procedures

• New Baseline Procedure
• Thermal Equilibrium Measurement Procedure
• Target Movement Procedure
• Anneal Procedure
• Target Replacement Procedure (Experts only)
• Magnet Energization Procedure (Experts only)

g2p Target Documents
