I am happy to report that, we had a good week of running. The data production rate started at around 1.3B triggers per day (last Thursday), and reached as high as 4B triggers per day(Tuesday). We ran standard data production when beam was available and all harp scan results looked good. The total trigger collected: ~22B triggers.

We were scheduled for 162 hours of running, and the beam on target was 95.5 hours. We lost in total 9.8 hours (10%) of the usable beam time. Apart from the standard radiator setting change overhead and DAQ starting/stopping, the vacuum pump and DIRC HV tripping diagnose cost 3 hours of down time. The planned maintenance (Tuesday morning) were successful, DIRC and FCAL were fully back online afterwards.

Looking ahead, we are likely to complete the low current running and TAC run in the next few days. The discussions on the CPP and trigger test are still ongoing, since the run period was extended to September 21, there is plenty of time to complete these tasks. Note that Hall C changing target will occur on this Friday (for three days) and the one pass running is now scheduled on August 31th.

Pending issues: TAGM control boards are still being diagnosed and TAGH dist counter are still not functioning properly.
