<- Back to Run Coordination Meetings:Fall2019 Run

• Acc whiteboard
• Counting house whiteboard
• Hall D schedule for week 1
• Hall D schedule for week 2
• BTA guidelines

next meeting (hopefully Monday, Dec 9 at 08:45)

1. Since Friday morning:
   • Morning data-taking was curtailed by a radiation level problem which prevented MCC from delivering beam to any of the halls. We are using this time for the many requested opportunistic access requests - Colin (rebooting FCAL's PDU), Hovanes (ComCAL), Scot (PS magnet), Beni (TOF), Nick(?).
   • Solenoid started ramping at 7am.
   • Richard resumed PS uscope threshold scan piecemeal whenever he could, running independently
   • Bill took some DIRC LED trigger data, also running independently
   • Swing shift started CDC and TOF HV scans.
2. Plan for the weekend
   • Continue DIRC commissioning overnight
   • Saturday diamond alignment, then DIRC commissioning with diamond overnight
   • Sunday David CPP test for 1h, otherwise DIRC commissioning

Friday, Dec 6 at 08:45

1. Last 24h:
   • Now have enough straight track data for GEM at all 3 positions
   • GEM_TRD firmware updated between beam left and beam right running
   • FADC replaced on GEM_TRD. Readout issues with GEM_TRD (see Lubomir's logentry).
   • Richard started completing the uscope threshold scan ~6am ish - working on this until 11am. Busy (UConn) until 5pm.
   • Solenoid is ramping (Tim/Beni)
   • Hovanes disabled the alarms on two TAGH channels which have faulty HV boards
2. Issues
   • Lubomir's logentry, GEM_TRD
   • Beni, TOF
   • Rootspy (errors, preferred gluon, run #, plots)
   • BTA - cannot edit old timesheets
3. Reports
   • Tim, PS field
4. Plan for today
   • Start solenoid ramping
   • Access at ~11 or when Richard finishes uscope scan
   • (Empty target before Richard does tagger accidentals measurement) (postpone these)
   • Fill target.
   • CDC & TOF scans
     • TOF HV SCAN FALL 2019
     • CDC scan return to 2125V afterwards
   • DIRC commissioning field-on
   • Opp access request from Sasha 30 mins to replace fcal fadcs, Nick, Colin, Beni...
5. Plan for later
   • Reschedule tagger accidentals
   • Alexandre's comprehensive runplan now at #5
   • Spin dance likely Monday or Tuesday. We can have beam for some/most of this time.
   • Diamond alignment likely on Wednesday?
6. Notes from this meeting.
   • Access at 11 for work as above
   • Alignment on Saturday as stable beam most likely
   • uscope threshold scan top priority
   • DIRC commissioning can use amo if necessary
   • try to reschedule tagger accidentals
   • No weekend meetings planned at present

Thursday, Dec 5 at 08:45

1. Last 24h:
   • Straight tracks during the day, Justin & Sean working to debug recon and analyze the data
   • Sean got the general detector checkout done.
   • Sasha did the PS threshold scan and set up the PS trigger for Richard's uscope scan
   • Sasha set up trigger config for straight tracks excluding uscope so Richard can work independently
   • Richard's uscope scans half done, interrupted by ghost PSS button press from tagger hall, no beam from approx 9pm - 1am?
   • Lubomir's logentry
2. Issues
   • Solenoid alarm
   • PSS fault
   • GEM cable or module swap
3. Plan for today
   • After the meeting (TBD Justin), move GEM to position 2, fix electronics problem, then take more data until ~4pm?
   • Move GEM to position 3, then take more data until ~6am Friday?
4. Plan for later
   • Alexandre's comprehensive runplan now at 3-4
5. Notes from this meeting.
   • Also need to check the GEM readout config
   • Beam time request from David for CPP
   • Radiation levels report from Alexandre
   • Repeated alarms for TAGH 151
