Tune Electron Beam

  1. Tagger microscope (TAGM) and all the crates with electronics should be removed from Hall D.
  2. Goniometer in the beam-open position. The goniometer will not be used during the 2014 run
  3. Amorphous radiator ladder equipped (HAPR included) and operational
  4. Beam lines under vacuum
  5. Tagger magnet operational
  6. Shielding walls installed
  7. Radiation monitors installed and operational
  8. Collimator block in the position between two holes, shielding the central area of the beam pipe
  9. Profiler counter installed in front of the collimator
  • 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
  4. Hall D quadrupole magnet MQPAD00 turned off
  • 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.
