General Information

This document describes the run plan for the Hall D Fall 2018 run.

  • Schedule for the run:
  1. Jan. 22nd - 29th: Electron beam restoration
  2. Jan. 30th - Feb. 12th: 2-weeks DIRC Commissioning (Solenoid at nominal field. LH2 target)
  3. Feb. 12th - Apr. 7th: 8.5-weeks PrimEx-eta run (Solenoid off. Be then LH2 target ??).
  1. Nominally, every Mondays: 12h of beam study. Every Tuesdays, if necessary: 8h of RF recovery.
  • Accelerator overall plan and priorities:
  1. Deliver physics beam to 4 halls. (Hall A stop early, on March. 10th. Halls B and or C will always be at 5th pass, so Hall D beam will always be RF-separated.)
  • DIRC commissioning page
  • PrimeX run page
  • Test fast raster beam envelope measurement with larger x-rastering?
  • Any other tests/plans (DAQ, Trigger, CPP, TRDS, strait track run)
