Dec. 8th 2015 meeting
- Report relevant updates from 7:50 and 8:00 daily MCC meetings:
- Accelerator has steered beam through ARC 9 (4.5 passes) by end of owl shift last night. 1090MeV per linac (=9.9GeV)
- Machine tuning is continuing. High trip rates (~15/h or more) required a RF Recovery. This is happening now. There was a problem for a power supply in ARC 9 (faulty choke). Accelerator has successfully switched it with choke from ARC 10. This was done in order to gain time and enable the delivery of beam with max. energy to Hall A. A new choke is being manufactured by the company (Danfysik, Denmark) and is expected by the end of this week or beginning of next week. Meanwhile, they are trying to repair the choke and it looks promising (it is working on the bench). Depending on this and on how long it takes to reach the important milestone of high power (900kw) 11 GeV in Hall A, we may start Saturday (tuning on Friday) with either a lower energy beam (for which the faulty choke can be used) or with the repaired choke. Or we would start at 12.05 GeV sometime around mid-next week, after the new choke arrived.
- So, beam to Hall D is postponed to at least Saturday, Dec. 12th.
- Link to accelerator short term schedule
- Accelerator schedule through June 2017.
- Hot Check OUT Status 58.8% ready ; 3.4% checked ; 37.8% not ready
- Report on Work in the Hall:
- Solenoid: Wrapping up repairs. Then, the cool down will begin. During this cool down, there will be times when control or restricted accesses will be needed (disruptions for MCC since any access for us bring down the gun).
SurveysAmorphous Radiators- Radiation monitors Status of shielding?
- Halo Counters : The one on the platform has been be put back. Others are good but there is a question regarding their alignment (orientation).
- Microscope. Ready but need to do HCO.
- Hodoscope checks.
Active Collimator- Placed on the 5mm hole.-
CollimatorOn blocking position. - Profiler/
intensity monitor- Profiler has been updated for faster acquisition. It working but a few checks remain. Pair spectrometer.Ready.TargetEmpty (i.e with H2 gas). A 1 cm plastic disk is in position at the end of the ST.Start CounterThere are 3 dead channels (most likely accidentally unplugged during ST motion). They will not be fixed since techs are busy with the solenoid and the ST will not be very useful for this run (target foil outside of the ST).FDCFCalCDCOne low voltage channel has its current readout dropping to zero and then coming back up. Some other channels display this sometimes too.TOFTransmission radiation detector- Slow controls. Mostly done. There are a couple of remaining things to do.
DAQTriggerintegrating the tagger crates in the trigger.Online monitoring-
Tagger magnet, PS magnet, 2nd sweep magnet.NMR for tagger magnet has been fixed. -
Goniometer -
Polarimeter(converter is out of the way) -
TAC - If you have work to do in the Hall, please notify Tom (Hall work coordinator) and if necessary, document it in the electronic logbook.
- OSL need to be worn everywhere in Hall D.
- Fall 2015 Commissioning Plan
