Back to Run Coordination Meetings:Fall2022

Thursday, November 10

Past 24 hours

  • No beam for ~14 hours (5:15-19:30) due to beam tuning and cryomodule issues.
  • Did harp scan when the beam was back during swing shift https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4079511. The sigmas of u and y positions at radiator were somewhat larger and lie outside the preferred range, monitoring PS rates.
  • Took production data on Full LHe target. Since yesterday we collected 1.0 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • No beam for ~14 hours due to beam tuning issues, followed by issues with some of the cryomodules.
  • After the beam was back it was mostly stable besides some FSD trips.

Plan

  • Continue with Full target production.
  • Accelerator maintenance scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday.

Friday, November 11

Past 24 hours

  • Since the beam was not converging as desired we asked accelerator people to tune beam optics for Hall D. After beam tuning MCC did harp scan followed by our harp scans. The sigma u, sigma y and sigma x fits look like they are converging at collimator (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4080101), though sigma u, sigma y from radiator harp scan are still outside of the preferred range. The plan for now is to monitor PSC rates (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4080753).
  • Took production data on Full LHe target. Since yesterday we collected 2.2 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • MCC took away the beam from 16:36-18:55 to correct steering issues for delivering 70 uA beam to Hall C.
  • Beam energy distribution normalized to a previous run (110641) shows change in beam energy distribution (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4080603). If this is not a problem we just need to update the reference plot.

Plan

  • Continue with Full target production.
  • Accelerator maintenance scheduled for Tuesday ~6:45 am, duration at list a shift and half.

Saturday, November 12

Past 24 hours

  • Took production data on LHe target. When the beam was gone we switched to empty target. After the beam was back Arshak did a Harp scan (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4081290). PSC rate went up and the sigmas of x, u and y positions are now in preferred range.
  • The change in beam energy distribution normalized to a previous run (110641) is also back to normal (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4081449).

Since yesterday we collected 1 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • SRF Vacuum issues, Hall B Solenoid PS Failure. No beam from 14:29-23:04.
  • During owl shift DAQ event rate dropped because FADC250 in Slot 3 of the rocfcal4 crate was dead. Sergey disconnect FCALRoc4 from trigger to recover event rate to 17 kHz. Sasha replaced the FADC module in the morning (took around ~1h) and connected FCALRoc4 to the trigger. This wasn't critical for PrimEx since the this slot is at the edge of FCAL.
  • After connected FCALRoc4 to the trigger, Sash didn't succeed in running the script to include BCAL LED triggers, so he asked Mark to do it.

Plan

  • Started empty target production when the beam was back.
  • Accelerator maintenance scheduled for Tuesday ~6:45 am, duration at list a shift and half.

Sunday, November 13

Past 24 hours

  • Took production data with empty target.
  • Since yesterday we collected 1 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • It was noticed during owl shift that CDC bubbler BA901 was not bubbling, let Beni know.
  • BCAL LED triggers still off.

Plan

  • Started empty target production when the beam was back.
  • Accelerator maintenance scheduled for Tuesday ~6:45 am, duration at list a shift and half.

Monday, November 14

Past 24 hours

  • Took production data with empty target.
  • Since yesterday we collected 0.7 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • Beam very unstable, RF and orbit instabilities. Didn't have beam for few hours. Also beam positions was oscillating during owl and early riser shifts, particularly AC inner Y https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4082281. Let MCC know.
  • 2pm Beni says that the CDC bubbler BA901 is bubbling again, it needs some more oil, Beni will add when there is an opportunistic access.
  • BCAL LED triggers turned on by Arshak during owl shift.

Plan

  • Accelerator maintenance scheduled for Tuesday ~6:45 am. Plan to finish around 2:45 pm.

Tuesday, November 15

Past 24 hours

  • Took production data with empty target.
  • Since yesterday we collected 1.2 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • Beam very unstable, beam/AC position changing a lot. Let MCC know, they turned on the orbit locks and the position at AC became more stable, but beam is very trippy.
  • Had a really smooth data taking throughout owl and early riser shifts.

Plan

  • Accelerator maintenance started at 6:45 am, will last until 2:45 pm.
  • Mark and Malte will go into the hall to work on FCAL.
  • Beni will fill CDC bubblers
  • Physics electricians will enter hall to understand how to organize installment of FCAL2 equipment.
  • Sasha installing chiller for led tungsten detector prototype.
  • Kondo entered the hall to work on PSC GEMs
  • Do harp scan after the beam is back and take production data with full target.

Wednesday, November 16

Past 24 hours

  • Did harp scan when the beam was back. The beam harp scan results look good (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4084755).
  • Took production data with full target.
  • Since yesterday we collected 1.2 B events.

Shift Summary

Issues/Reports

  • Alex noticed that no new files have been copied to the farm from the counting house since run 111443 from Monday morning. Sergey says that this problem happens occasionally and he will take care of this.
  • Sasha found some issues with BCAL LED trigger. The level translation board has a problem that results in producing some extraneous trigger pulses for the downstream led trigger. need to be replaced when there are spare modules.

Plan

  • Continue taking production data with full target.
