- Dipole trip
- Transmission looks ok
- Production data
- Issues:
- Harp scan EPICS screenshot

Friday, February 23
- Notes from the previous 24 hours:
- Production data
- Beam taken away 11:15-14:14 for linac issues
- Owl Shift Summary: rho, omega, phi triggers
- Issues:
- ADC in slot 16 of the TOF crate is still commented out in the config file
- FDC TDC-ADC timing shifts
- Are these issues?: Problem starting run, ROCSTPSC2 and ROCTAGM2 have no events, Power cycle the ROCTRIG2 and Start the DAQ again, ROCFCAL3
- Reports (?):
- Planning:
- 100nA 10-4 radiator
- nA BPM commissioning: Rate dependence, Flux, Polarization
- Current timings, CDC and FDC timings
- Today's run plan Run Plan Google Calendar Accel. Run Plan Google Calendar:

- Production data
Saturday, February 24
- No Hall D Counting Room meeting due to Collaboration Meeting
Sunday, February 25
- Notes from the previous 24 hours:
- Production data
- Scan result for HALO
- Issues:
- Missing channels on Tagger Miscrope?
- FDC Occupancy plots
- Low level monitoring
- FCAL pedestals check - re pi0 peak small shift (Matt's question)
- ADC in slot 16 of the TOF crate is commented out in the config file
- Reports:
- Hall D Cavity BPMs initial steps underway, more work on Monday
- Energy oscillations
- Beam position update
- AC x-response
- Planning:
- Move collimator+beam
- 750um converter run (on diamond), PS trigger prescale factor to match current livetime; check pileup
- CDC 160 ns shift: bring window even closer, narrow its width? Revert to CDC integral mode.
- MWPC: check noise with FCAL monitoring system off; move steel plate upstream/add more steel.
- Today's run plan Run Plan Google Calendar Accel. Run Plan Google Calendar:
- Harp scan in early morning: does not look good
- Production data
- Harp (around noon)
- Special CDC run on diamond at 100nA for 30 min (Naomi will analyze)
- Put profiler in to check active collimator X; MCC cannot lock on to it but can lock on Y (Hovanes)
- Move collimator (Hovanes)
- PS scalers check (Sasha)
- Change CDC to integral mode and keep for rest of run (Sasha)
