      • Tagger Accidental study ?? nA on 40 μm µm Al radiator
  • Position Slow Lock on or FFB on (FFB doesn't operate below 50nA).
  • Radiators:
    • Goniometer radiators: DIRC commissioning starts on 40 μm Al radiator. Then it uses production diamond.
      • Diamond JD70-103 (50 μm - 4.1·10-4 R.L., 7×7 mm²) - new crystal - good rocking curve

    • ComCal installed and can be used instead of TAC.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Tracking device (2 Transition Radiation Detector(TRD, one wire-based, 1 GEM-based)+3 GEM) in front of lower DIRC box during DIRC commissioning.
      • Will be placed at three different locations during DIRC commissioning. Access necessary to move them to new position. (Solenoid field does not need to be ramped down.) 3h is necessary to move GEM/TRD from one location to the next (ideally done during beam study/RF recovery).
      • Will be moved in the Pair Spect. area during Spring run.
    • Pair Spect. area: FCal Pb-W cristal testing/Hall C scintillator glass testing
    • EIC aerogel test? If ready. Will be behind the GEM/TRD
    • Fiber test for profiler prototype (Regina)?

General Information

This document describes the run plan for the Hall D Fall 2019-Spring 2020 run.

  • Schedule for the run:
  1. Nov. 18th - 24th: Electron beam restoration.
  2. Nov. 25th - Dec. 19th: 2 PAC-weeks for DIRC Commissioning (Solenoid at nominal field. LH2 target))
  3. Dec. 20th -Jan. 2nd: Xmas break.
  4. Jan. 3rd - 9th: Electron beam restoration. (Same condition as Fall ⇒ It is not unreasonable to imagine it to be faster). This was the case for the Fall17-Spring18 run where the Xmas break was also very short.)
    • Counting room will be staffed (Standby).
    • If time allows, the GEM/TRD will be moved to PS location (lower priority than GlueX production if we have an early start).
  5. Jan. 10th -May 6th: GlueX high luminosity production.
  • Nominally, every Mondays: 12h of beam study. Every Tuesdays, if necessary: 8h of RF recovery.
  • Accelerator overall plan and priorities:
    • Deliver physics beam to 4 halls. (Hall A stop early, on March. 23rd. Halls B and or C will always be at 5th pass (except for 2×2 days for Hall C), so Hall D beam will always be RF-separated.)
  • Hall D plan
    • Experiment: GlueX E12-06-102 Production
    • Straight track run:
      • At the very beginning of the Fall run.
      • Done for each of the 3 positions of GEM/TRD
      • Overall, one night of good data.
      • ⇒ overall about one calendar day (8h of data + 6h for moving GEM/TRD + 8h solenoid ramp-up).
    • DIRC commissioning page (+TRD/GEM).
    • DAQ:
      • new CODA 4h at higher intensity than standard.
      • cDAQ 4h at higher intensity than standard.
      • Data consistency check (parasitic).
    • Trigger tests:
      • FCal-BCal-ST trigger test: 1 shift
      • High intensity (i.e. nominal for this run) trigger needs tuning at each increase of the beam current until nominal high intensity is reached.
    • HV scans for TOF's new counters.
    • Tagging accidentals beam tests (Richard Jones, Beni,Todd Satogata, Mike McCaugh) ??h invasive
      • Mott area study by CEBAF staff. Done during beam studies. Hall D may be open.
      • High rate tagging test (2h).
        • 5 rate scans from 2kHz to 5kHz.
        • Beam current up to ?? nA on thickest amorphous radiator.
        • PS trigger only.
        • Empty target, GlueX detector off, empty target, 3.4 collimator in (w/o Active Collimator), switch off lower energy counters.
        • 20 min for each of the 5 scans.
        • Can be followed by empty target run, since the target will be emptied for the test.
    • ComCal test: anode current studies with special trigger (raw mode): 1h invasiv.
    • Pair. Spec. test area:
      • Right arm (facing downstream): FCal Pb-W cristal quality and detector checks. Fully parasitic
      • Left arm:
        • Fall 2019: Test of Hall C 3×3 block glass-scintillator prototype. Fully parasitic
        • Spring 2020: TRD/GEM will be present after removal from in front of DIRC. Aerogel may be present. Fully parasitic
      • EIC aerogel test? (left arm?)
    • CPP trigger tests: 1 shift + 2 shifts of installation/removal.
      • Invasive.
      • Installation/removal should be coordinated with beam study and RF recovery, to save a shift or two.
    • Test fast raster beam envelope measurement with larger x-rastering (Todd Satogata/ Mike McCaugh/Richard Jones) ??h invasive but done during beam studies
    • Beamline, TAC platform: Fiber test for profiler prototype (Regina)?
