Procedure without Sieve-slit
- Time estimate: 1 hour
* Take a run at the following kinematics without the sieve-slit collimator. * Start with initial right HRS spectrometer tune with the SOS quad in place of right Q1. * If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure. * Electron rates assume 5 carbon foils or 2 Al dummy foils, 5 mSr acceptance, and 8% delta acceptance. * A GMp expert will check the data quality and decide, if the right HRS tune needs to be adjusted to change the size of the acceptance. * This process will be repeated until the spectrometer tune is satisfactory.

Procedure with Sieve-slit
- Time estimate: 10 hours
* Trained personnel will be required to install the 1-inch tungsten sieve-slit collimator onto the front face of the HRS. * Take a sieve slit run with the multi-foil carbon target for the inelastic kinematics in the table. * If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure. * Repeat the above with the beam position shifted so that you see a vertical shift by one row. * Electron rates assume 5 carbon foils, only 37 out of 155 sieve holes per foil have events (~ 0.4 mSr acceptance), and 8% delta acceptance. * Electron rates assume 2 aluminum foils, only 43 out of 155 sieve holes per foil have events (~ 0.47 mSr acceptance), and 8% delta acceptance.

Delta Scan with Proton Elastic
- Time estimate: 3-4 hours
* Trained personnel will be required to remove the 1-inch lead sieve-slit collimator onto the front face of the HRS. * Take a run with the 15 cm liquid hydrogen target for the elastic kinematics in the table. * There will be a time lapse between settings until the right dipole reaches the desired momentum and is stable. * If you need to increase the spectrometer momentum setting, make sure you cycle Q2 and Q3 as per the cycling procedure. * Rate estimates only include elastic electrons and does not include inelastic rate or rate from the target endcaps. * The Q2 for these settings is 1.65 GeV2.

Proton Elastic Run and Dummy Target Runs
- Go back to the ΔP = 0% elastic setting. Make sure the L-HRS P0 = 1.177 GeV and Q1 current = 240.6730 A (-4%)
- Take data with this setting for 1 hour
Ebeam (GeV) | k' (GeV) | θe (deg) | ΔP (%) | Rate [Hz] at 20 μA | minutes for 1M events at 20 μA |
2.057 | 1.177 | 48.74 | 0 | 339 | ~ 60 mins |
- Move the target to "Dummy"
- Take L-HRS run with same setting as previous step. We need at least 200 K events.
