  • CPP and NPP Run Conditions
  • Electron beam energy expected = 11.57 GeV based on the planned Experimental Schedule
  • Microscope will cover the range of [0.391-0.514] of the beam energy or [4.52-5.95 GeV]
  • Hall D solenoid will operate at its nominal field of 1350 A.
  • Use the 750 um PS converter to collect sufficient PS triggers at low rate.
  • Pair Spectrometer magnet will be scaled down by 6/9 = 0.67 of its nominal field (569.4 A = 0.67x849.9 A)

Preparations and Schedule

  1. CPP DAQ/Monitoring Test Spring 2022
  2. CPP Run Coverage Summer 2022

Draft Commissioning Steps

  1. Set Solenoid (standard GlueX) and PS magnet to CPP values (CPP = 2/3 * nominal GlueX).
  2. Setup photon beam operation at 50 nA.
  3. Check microscope and hodoscope operation in new configuration
  4. Align diamond to 6 GeV coherent edge
  5. Check rates in microscope in new position
  6. Harp scans and check photon beam on collimator
  7. Check radiation and backgrounds rates in Hall D with Pb target
    • Check rates and beam stability at 30 nA
    • Check currents and hit distributions in the MWPCs
  8. Preliminary trigger setup to be used during initial checks
  9. Complete a HV scan for the TOF, CTOF and CDC. Adjust voltages accordingly, especially those of the TOF in advance of trigger studies.
  10. Take data for adjustment of the FCAL PMT gains.
  11. Take data for Sean's Detector Checkout
  12. Compare empty vs full target rates
  13. Adjustable Pb absorber (upstream of muon detector)
  14. Commission trigger
    • Charged Trigger (TOF)
    • Neutral Trigger (FCAL/BCAL)
    • Calibration triggers (CTOF, random, PS)
    • Compare empty/full trigger rates
  15. Production
    • Full target
    • Empty target, fraction determined during commissioning.
  16. Special Runs during Production
    • Beam energy calibration (Short, possible daily runs)
    • Regular short runs in raw mode
    • Take a TAC run close to start and one at end of run.
    • PS: Take data at the nominal GlueX setting for reference.
    • Straight track data (solenoid off)

Non-production activities remaining (Jul 27)

  1. Second TAC run (> 7 days from end of run)
  2. Take a current rate scan on full target later in the run to investigate any rate dependent effects. Do we want to do this? When?
  3. PS magnet at nominal current?

Decommissioning / Deinstallation

  1. The Pb target will be secured upon completion of the experiment. It will be stored either in a safe in the hall if it is activated, or the safe in Hall D conference room if not.
  2. The Pb frame shield will be surveyed while the first stage is still up on the platform
  3. After uncabling of the MWPCs, the chamber cables will be stored along with the chambers in the EEL.
  4. The steel absorbers will be stored inside to prevent corrosion, likely in the Test Lab.
  5. The CTOF scintillators will be stored in the EEL along with the MWPCs. That gets them out of the hall radiation environment and makes them accessible even if Hall D is closed.
