  1. Several items were fixed during a controlled access in the morning
    • Amorphous radiator ladder by Hovanes and Scot
    • Colin replaced a few bad FCAL bases
    • Sasha checked one noising CompCal channel and found out that it was caused by the FADC baseline
  2. Sasha adjusted CCAL LED trigger time delay https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3635382
  3. Production trigger rate and CompCal rate study was performed by Sasha during afternoon and evening, https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3635399, https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3635391
  4. MCC plan for the coming week
    • MCC will continuously deliver beam throughout the rest of week with 1.83 GeV/pass (10.3 GeV for Hall D).
    • On Dec 9 (Monday), the beam will be off at 6:00am. MCC will change energy to 1.61 GeV/pass (9 GeV for hall D). This process is planned for three days (DeC 9-12).
  5. Jay Benesch has initiated a discussion with a group of experts to investigate the feasibility of monitoring 1-2 nA beam current for Hall D.
  6. Tagger scaler distribution shows that we have beam leakage from Hall C. https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3635351
  7. We have been taking Compton production data on LH2 target since midnight.

  1. Several items were fixed during a controlled access in the morning
    • Change electronics for DAQ by Sasha
    • Calibrate He level DP for solenoid magnet by Marc and Scott
  2. A few hours used to test newly updated DAQ by Sasha and Ben
  3. ~5 hours no beam from late afternoon to evening
  4. Colin and Josh adjusted FCAL high voltages for the inner four layers of counters based on the gain factors provided by Ilya.
  5. Analyzed data took the day before to study CompCal gain stability at different beam current up to 350nA on LH2. It looks stable for the counters close to beam hole.
  6. Found about 7 counters have non-lineraty vs energy (up to 8%). The rest of counters are linear.
  7. Started CompCal scan during owl shift with both LED trigger and CompCal trigger. TAC in data stream. DAQ in raw mode.
  8. Plan for today and weekkend:
    • Finish CompCal performance and take data on LH2 target and empty target data
