Fall 2014 Commissioning Plan

Tune Electron Beam

1. Goal: Get electron beam to the dump in the tagger hall.
2. Responsibility: Accelerator, HallD, RadCon.
3. Conditions:
   • Tagger hall equipment removed or shielded. This includes the microscope (TAGM) and the electronics.
   • Pulsed beam may be used.
   • No radiator installed.
   • Collimator blocks the photon beamline to Hall D.
4. Activities:
   • Tune beam to the dump, check the beam specification.
   • Check radiation levels in the tagger hall.
   • Check for photons and radiation levels in the collimator cave.

Tune Photon Beam

1. Goal: Tune the photon beam to go through the collimator, the experimental target area, and into the photon beam dump.
2. Responsibility: HallD, Accelerator, RadCon.
3. Conditions:
   • Tagger hall equipment removed or shielded. This includes the microscope (TAGM) and the electronics.
   • Beam 50nA CW (if possible).
   • Radiator 10^-4 RL.
   • Collimator hole is 3.5mm at nominal beam position.
   • Solenoid on with current ~1000A.
   • GlueX detectors off (except peripheral such as BCAL)
   • No target in place (use air along beamline as target).
