The week from 7/27 - 8/3 was standard production running for CPP with no special configuration runs outside of standard harp scans. The schedule alternated between Empty and Pb target configurations with 2.1B triggers during empty target runs and 16.9B triggers during Pb target runs. The Empty target running represents about 13% of the triggers during this time. The ratio of AMO to polarized running was 5%-6% for both Empty and Pb target conditions.

There were some affects due to seasonal thunderstorms during the week. The most severe coincided with the accelerator going down and the solenoid tripping off. A plan was implemented to take pi0 calibration data with the FCAL while the solenoid ramped up (an 8 hour process). However, the accelerator did not come back online until the solenoid was fully ramped so we resumed production running. During one of the storms, Hall-C was taken offline for several hours and both Hall-D and Hall-B reported significantly more stable beam over that time period. The accelerator continued to struggle with delivering high current beam to Hall-C over the week, but did still manage to deliver good quality beam to Hall-D.
