Pair Spectrometer Shift

The Pair Spectrometer
The pair spectrometer consists of the converter, the dipole magnet and two types of scintillator detectors: 290 high-granularity hodoscope and 16 low-granularity counters (PSC), which are used to detect e+e- pairs produced in the converter by a beam photon. The converter accommodates up to 3 thin foil targets and a wire, which will be used to study the profile of the photon beam. The magnet will be operated at 1.8 T field. Light from scintillators is detected by SiPMs and Hamamatsu H7415 assemblies for the hodoscope and PSC, respectively. The nominal operating voltage for PMTs is about 1.2 kV.
Routine Operation
Checking PS settings
Before starting the run the shift should follow the run configuration requirements and perform the following actions:
- check that the right converter is inserted to the photon beam. This can be done using the Slow Control GUI. If the converter is not in the right position, the shift crew must call to MCC (999) and request switching the beam off. The converter can be inserted by selecting the foil number on the GUI screen and clicking on "Go' button. Green color of the button indicates that the converter is in the right spot.
