General Information

  • Expected Staffing:
    • Run Coordinator: To be named
    • Online Shifts: 3 persons per shift, one with solenoid training.
    • Offline Shifts: at least two people looking at data written to tape.
  • Coordination Activities:
    • MCC meeting at 7:00am
    • Daily run meeting broadcast on bluejeans 10:30am??
  • Activity Priority
    • High: Activity should be completed, contingencies in place for issues.
    • Medium: Desirable to complete the activity.
    • Low: Activity would be useful if time permits us to do it.
  • Deferred Activity
    • Installation of liquid hydrogen target.
    • Installation of diamond radiator in goniometer.
    • Running data at 1350A solenoid current.

Beam Configuration Parameters

  • Energy of Beam. Expect energy ~ 10.5 GeV
  • Current of Beam
    • 4-10 microA with pulsed beam
    • 100-400 nA cw
  • Radiators
    • 0.8 microns Al (0.9 x 10^-5 rad len)
    • 30 microns Al (3.4 x 10^-4 rad len)
    • 100 microns Al (1.1 x 10^-3 rad len)
  • Targets. Diameter = 3.19 cm. The position of the target can be moved 12 cm downstream to 32 cm upstream relative to the nominal Hall D target position (60 cm downstream of the downstream end of the upstream solenoid endcap.)
    • 10mm disk of CH2 (HDPE, high density polyethylene)
    • 2mm disk CH2 (HDPE)
    • CH2 (HDPE) cup of 2mm thickness for the 2mm-inner diameter and 7mm for the outer ring.
    • 3.4mm C12 graphite disk
  • Run schedule. Scheduled about 4 weeks of beam to Hall D between mid Oct and mid Dec, 2014
