Monday, December 6
- Last 24h:
- Continued C production running. Smooth during day and swing.
- Alarms for TAGM1 and TAGM2 d/c from DAQ [1]. Sergey made an access to tagger hall after unable to remotely recycle the crates. Determined to be a network problem. Problem mysteriously cleared before IT on-call from off-site could arrive [2].
- Issues:
- (urgent) Right Ar tank empty and cylinder needs replacement.
- (urgent) Runs not being transferred fully from Hall D to central computing [3]
- (not urgent but noted) Hall D techs need access to retrieve CPP equipment in the next week.
- (to do) Coordinate with Chris and techs the changing of C target.
- Plan:
- run on carbon at 150nA
- Rotate the radiators and use both configurations
- Stop the beam ALWAYS before changing the radiator configuration (even with the same radiator). Between radiator change (0/90 <--> 35/145) ALWAYS ask MCC to insert the dumplette.
- Aligning the peak: Use coarse adjustment to align the distributions (red on blue) and then nudge/fine adjust to line up vertical line fit.
- Take an amorphous run today
- Analysis update
Sunday, December 5
- Last 24h:
- Continued C production running. Pretty smooth running throughout the day and overnight.
- Issues:
- (urgent) Right Ar tank empty and cylinder needs replacement
- (not urgent but noted) Hall D techs need access to retrieve CPP equipment in the next week.
- (to do) Coordinate with Chris and techs the changing of C target.
- Plan:
- run on carbon at 150nA
- Rotate the radiators and use both configurations
- Stop the beam ALWAYS before changing the radiator configuration (even with the same radiator). Between radiator change (0/90 <--> 35/145) ALWAYS ask MCC to insert the dumplette.
- Aligning the peak: Use coarse adjustment to align the distributions (red on blue) and then nudge/fine adjust to line up vertical line fit.
- No Hall D RC meeting over the weekend. I will send updates by e-mail. Meeting with the PD at 9am both days.

Friday, December 3
- Last 24h:
- Tried re-tuning the beam yesterday (reducing MQP5C11). Resulted in lower PS rates (~2.8 kHz) consistent with what was observed previously when we tried this. See: [8],[9]
- After reverting to optics before the change, PS rates back up (~3.3 kHz). See: [10],[11]
- Hovanes performed collimator scan [12]
- Continued C production running overnight.
- Issues:
- FDC HV alarm overnight [13]
- (not urgent but noted) Hall D techs need access to retrieve CPP equipment in the next week.
- Need to coordinate with Chris and techs the changing of C target sometime next week.
- Mark S. heard a strange repetitive banging sound in the Hall yesterday afternoon. By the time he made the access, it was gone.
- Plan:
- run on carbon at 150nA´
- Rotate the radiators and use both configurations
- Stop the beam ALWAYS before changing the radiator configuration (even with the same radiator). Between radiator change (0/90 <--> 35/145) ALWAYS ask MCC to insert the dumplette.
- Aligning the peak: Use coarse adjustment to align the distributions (red on blue) and then nudge/fine adjust to line up vertical line fit.
- No Hall D RC meeting over the weekend. I will send updates by e-mail. Meeting with the PD at 9am both days.
- Analysis update
Thursday, December 2
- Last 24h:
- Established beam last night before midnight.
- Harp scan extrapolation looks to be focused a bit differently than before. PS rates seemed around 3.2kHz as before with 150nA beam so we kept this.
- Radiation levels at 50nA acceptable.
- Continued production on C target at 150nA. Beam not available for most of Early Riser shift so far.
- Issues:
- Plan:
- run on carbon at 150nA´
- Rotate the radiators and use both configurations
- Stop the beam ALWAYS before changing the radiator configuration (even with the same radiator). Between radiator change (0/90 <--> 35/145) ALWAYS ask MCC to insert the dumplette.
