Tune Electron Beam (Time estimate: 15 days)

  1. Sept 19 - Sept 29: Tune beam to Hall D line dumplette (Tagger Hall can remain open).
  2. Sept 29 - Oct 3 2014: Tune beam to Tagger Hall D (Tagger Hall and Hall D must be closed).
  • Prerequisites:
  1. Tagger microscope (TAGM) and all the crates with electronics removed from Hall D. \Box
  2. Goniometer in the beam-open position. The goniometer will not be used during the 2014 run.
  3. Amorphous radiator ladder equipped (HARP included) and operational \Box
    • Responsibility: Hovanes Egiyan.
    • Procedure for radiator harp scans
  4. Beam lines under vacuum \Box
  5. Tagger magnet operational \Box
    • Responsibility: MCC
  6. Shielding walls installed \Box
  7. Radiation monitors installed and operational \Box
    • Responsibility: Alexandre Deur (CARMS)/Hovanes Egyian (halo counters)
    • Procedure to monitor CARMs
    • Procedure to Halo counters
  8. Primary collimator block in the position between two holes, shielding the central area of the beam pipe \Box . Secondary collimator removed.
    • Responsibility: Hovanes Egiyan.
    • Procedure for moving Primary Collimator
  9. First Profiler counter installed in front of the collimator \Box
  10. Second Profiler counter installed in front of photon beam dump \Box
  • Conditions:
  1. Pulsed beam pulsed beam 4-10 µA (average 60-150 nA) for the beam tune
  2. CW beam 50-100 nA at the final stage of the procedure
  3. No radiator inserted. \Box
    • Responsibility: Hovanes Egiyan.
    • Procedure for inserting amorphous radiator
  4. Hall D controlled quadrupole MQPAD00 turned off. \Box
    • Responsibility: MCC
  5. No shift workers in Hall D except for Shift leader if needed and experts from Hall D are involved with the radiation measurements
  • Activities:
  1. Tune the pulsed beam to the dump, check the beam specifications, send the CW beam (accelerator).
  2. Check radiation levels in the tagger hall (Hall D/RadCon).
  3. Check for photons (with the Profiler and Active Collimator) and radiation levels in the collimator cave (Hall D/RadCon).
  • Responsibility: Main: Accelerator; support: HallD, RadCon.
