*** 2 persons per shift, one with solenoid training
**** Electron beam commissioning: Shifts will be scheduled but be stand-by shifts by default. The counting room will be manned only if accelerator needs a contact, or if Hall D expertise is needed to support the beam tuning (e.g. to operate the amorphous collimator harp). If so, the shift leader will be asked to be present. If the task demands it, the two-man rule must be obeyed.

**** Photon beam commissioning: Only beam line equipment and the solenoid will be operated. The detectors will be turned off for most of the time, with the possible exception of BCAL and the outer rings of FCAL. The counting room will be manned by two shift persons, one with solenoid training, and the experts necessary to the conduct of specific parts of the run plan. The RC will assign the experts. The third shift taker will be on stand-by.

**** Initial detector testing with the tagger equipment still removed: Once the photon beam is commissioned the Hall D detectors will be turned on, Online shifts will be operated by three persons, one with solenoid training.

Run Plan

Commissioning time chart:
Commissioning time chart. Time t=0 corresponds to the Hall being locked-up for beam tunning. With the present schedule, it is sometime in the first half of Oct. The horizontal scale is the time during which beam is available (in other word, it would be the real time with 100% of beam efficiency). The task time estimates given on the plot have 100% contingency.

Tune Electron Beam

Tune Photon Beam and collect data for initial detector checkout

One Week Pause in Running

Finalize Photon Beam Commissioning and Optimize Detector Settings

Drift Chamber Alignment

Collect More Regular Data
