Beam and Hall configuration

• Beam energy expected:
  • 11.630 GeV (10 MeV less than value for Fall 2016 to Fall 2018 up Nov. 15th, due to imbalanced linac setting).
• Solenoid:
  • DIRC commissioning: 1350A
  • PrimEx-eta run: off

  • Standard current and radiators
    • DIRC: Standard commissioning current: 225 nA on 1.4·10^-4 R.L. radiator (JD70-104 17 μm diamond).
    • DIRC: Hight intensity tests: 1.2 μA on 1.4·10^-4 R.L. radiator (JD70-104 17 μm diamond) (or 0.5 μA on JD70-105, 47 μm diamond of 3.9·10^-4 R.L.)
    • PrimEx-eta run: Standard production on ⁴He: 320 nA. on 10 µm Al (11.2·10^-5 R.L.)

  • RSAD limit for most of the run, excluding high intensity tests: ?? nA on ??·10^-4 R.L. radiator.
• Position Slow Lock on or FFB on (FFB doesn't operate below 50nA).
• Radiators:
  • Goniometer radiators:
    • Diamond JD70-104 (17 μm - 1.4·10^-4 R.L., 7×7 mm²) - wider rocking curve - Tested in Spring 2018 and used at the beginning of Fall 2018. Probably has some radiation degradation.
    • Diamond JD70-105 (47 μm - 3.9·10^-4 R.L., 7×7 mm²) - Used for the second part of GlueX's Fall 2018 run. Good performance.
  • 40 μm Al radiator (44.9·10^-5 R.L.)
  • V-wire (for TAC run).
  • Amorphous
    • 1.64 µm Al (1.86·10^-5 R.L., see study)

• Targets:
  • LH2 target: cryogenic target
  • ⁴He target: cryogenic target
  • Be target 18 mm, 5·10^-4 R.L. </font>

• Miscellaneous:
  • CPP (Charged pion polarizability) tests
    • To be set-up and done during the last day of DIRC allocated commissioning time.
    • Use LH2 target, keep solenoid on at nominal field, DIRC stays in nominal position.
    • Move downstream platform downstream
    • Install passive shielding in front of TOF.
    • Tests (to be done at various positions of passive shielding).
    • End of test: remove shielding, ramp down solenoid.
  • Transition Radiation Detector in the Hall
    • Parasitic

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)

• Expected Staffing and responsibilities:
  • The Run Coordinator oversees the commissioning:
    • Jan. 22nd-Jan. 29th, 7 days: Alexandre Deur (accelerator restoration)
    • Jan. 30th-Feb. 13th, 7 days: Alexandre Deur
    • Feb. 13th-Feb. 20th, 7 days: Colin Gleason
    • Feb. 20th-Feb. 27th, 7 days: Sean Dobbs
    • Feb. 27th-March 6th, 7 days: Justin Stevens
    • March 6th-March 13th, 7 days: Alexander Austregesilo
    • March 13th-March 20th, 7 days: TBD
    • March 20th-March 27th, 7 days: Richard Jones
    • March 27th-Apr. 3rd, 7 days: TBD
    • Apr. 3rd-Apr. 7th, 4 days: TBD
  • The Physics Division Liaison (PDL) and Hall D Work Coordinator/Safety Warden (M. Stevens) verify that the proper safety rules are followed. PDL is:
    • Lubomir Penchev
  • The analysis coordinator (Alexander Austregesilo) oversees the off-line diagnostic of the different systems and analysis of the data.
  • Shifts: 2 persons per shift.
• Coordination Activities:
  • The RC will attend the MCC meetings at 7:45am and 8:00am and the weekly MCC meeting (Wednesday, 1:30pm). The PDL will attend the weekly MCC meeting.
