Major causes for down time on our side were a readout failure of the 5C11B beam position monitor (~2h), a period during which our slow control system (CSS/EPICS) was not responsive (~2h) and the scheduled installation of a new 10'' beam pipe (~8h, during beam studies). The remaining losses can be attributed to configuration changes. So far, the experiment ran for 86% of the scheduled fall 2018 beam time and collected 67% of the total data expected for this period.

The GlueX experiment in Hall D was scheduled for 152 hours of beam, but received only 87.3 hours (57%). We could use about 80.8 hours (ABU) or 53% of the scheduled beam time. Major causes for down time on our side were a readout failure of the 5C11B beam position monitor (~2h), a period during which our slow control system (CSS/EPICS) was not responsive (~2h) and the scheduled installation of a new 10 inch beam pipe (~8h, during beam studies). The remaining losses can be attributed to configuration changes. So far, the experiment ran for 86% of the scheduled fall 2018 beam time and collected 67% of the total data expected for this period.
