We filled the target on the Wednesday morning at the start of the week. On Wednesday afternoon the chilled water supply to the hall was inadvertently cut off by a facilities team (who were fixing an air leak in building 200). It was restored within an hour, but the repercussions in Hall D lasted quite some time - there were temperature alarms for the target, FDC and BCAL chillers, and the air conditioning cut out. The temperature in the hall rose to just under 80F. Accesses were made to visually check on the target cool water supply and reset the chillers. It took about 2 hours for the target temperatures to stabilize and another 2 for the BCAL chiller temperatures to return to normal. Running over the Thanksgiving break was smooth, with only a few requests for FCAL base resets. On Monday morning the target was emptied. A failed FCAL fadc and a problem FDC fadc were replaced on Tuesday morning, and a failed BCAL fadc and again a problem FDC fadc on Wednesday morning. The target was filled during the Wednesday morning access. For most of the week, Hall D was the only hall receiving beam. MCC created a new energy lock to reduce the beam energy oscillations. During the week we received a total of 84% of scheduled beam on target hours and 79% ABU. The 10.5h of BANU were due to DAQ & electronics problems (6h, mostly accesses to replace fadcs), 2h filling target and 1.5h without cooling. We accumulated 15.4B triggers with the target full and 2.2B with it empty.
