Setting Up Photon Beam

1. Verify electron beam quality and establish photon beam
   • Ion Chambers trip threshold must be set using 3 Al. radiators on the amorphous radiator ladder
   • Tune electron beam with radiator retracted
     • Radiator (amorphous and diamond) must be retracted. Collimator should be in blocking position.
       • Typical levels are (for radiator retracted, collimator fully blocking, electron beam current 50 nA)
         • RAD102_P1 ~ 10 mrad/hr (tagger area, gammas, between tagger and dump)
         • RAD102_P2 ~30 mrad/hr (tagger area, gammas, on the ground below the goniometer).
         • RAD102_P3 ~ 0.3 mrem/hr (tagger area, neutrons, near electronics racks)
         • RAD508_P1 < 0.1 mrad/hr (collimator cave, gammas).
         • RAD508_P2 ~ 0. mrad/hr (Hall. Neutrons).
   • Establish good photon beam
   • Make sure tagger quadrupole is on and at -4.2 A. (It can be turned on only once the Hall is in power/beam permit.)
     • Insert 2*10^-5 RL radiator. Call MCC and ask to mask the FSD and turn off beam each time a radiator is moved
       • Typical levels are (for 2×10^-5 radiator, electron beam current 50 nA)
         • RAD102_P1= 35 mrad/hr (tagger area, gammas, between tagger and dump)
         • RAD102_P2= ~ 50 mrad/hr (tagger area, gammas, on the ground below the goniometer)
         • RAD102_P3= ~2 mrem/hr (tagger area, neutrons, near electronics racks)
         • RAD508_P1= ~10 mrad/hr (collimator cave, gammas).
         • RAD508_P2 < ~ 0. mrad/hr (Hall. Neutrons).
   • Verify beam position and envelope (Hovanes).
     • Ask MCC to set beam position on 5C11b to x=-0.5 mm and y=+1.0 mm.
     • Ask MCC for 5C11 and 5C11B HARP. Then do our radiator HARP scan, see instruction. If it looks good, proceed to next step. Otherwise, inform MCC.
     • Insert profiler (no need for masking FSD when an object is inserted in the photon line), run with 10^-4 radiator and 50 nA. Beam on the profiler should be at x=0.0±0.5cm; y=0.0±0.5cm. If not, inform MCC.
   • Radiation level study (1h, collimator at 5mm):
     • Run 5 min without radiator (Call MCC and ask to mask the FSD each time the radiator is moved). Beam current: 50nA. Repeat at 100 nA and 200 nA. There is need to run the DAQ or stop the beam between each steps: the data are recorded by EPICS. However, the beam need to be off when moving to a different radiator for the next steps.
     • Run 5 min with the 10^-4 radiator (Call MCC). Beam current: 50nA. Repeat at 100 nA and 200 nA
     • Run 3 min with the 3*10^-4 radiator (Call MCC). Beam current: 50nA. Repeat at 100 nA and 200 nA
   • Photon flux optimization and Active Collimator calibration. Call Hovanes.
     • re-Insert the 10^-4 radiator (Call MCC). Use about 100 nA beam current. This will provide the Act. Col. nominal positions for its high gain values.
     • Determine maximum photon beam transmission by doing 2D scans using the collimator x/y motions (Hovanes. 1h)
     • Repeat procedure with 2*10^-5 radiator (Call MCC) and 50 nA beam current. This will provide the Act. Col. nominal positions for its low gain values.
     • Record on the white board what is the beam position on 5C11b and Active Collimator for optimal photon transmission, both for low and high Act. Col. gain.
     • Until Hovanes determines to optimal 5C11b and Active Collimator position, keep profiler in and beam locked (MCC's duty) on the nominal 5C11b and x=0,y=0 profiler position. Once Active Collimator nominal beam position is known, retract profiler and lock the beam (MCC) on the active collimator.

Live Camera Feeds from the Four Counting Houses

1. These feeds SHOULD be open and visible at all times from one of the monitors in each of the counting houses.
2. Management cautions AGAINST opening them from other locations or offsite, out of concern for available bandwidth.
