<- Back to Run Coordination Meetings:Fall2019 Run

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 used 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, finished around 5pm
    • Richard resumed PS uscope threshold scan piecemeal whenever he could, running independently
    • Bill took some DIRC LED trigger data, also running independently
    • CDC and TOF HV scans completed.
    • Tagger microscope HV scan data collection completed
    • DIRC commissioning runs continued overnight
    • Data from run 70835 on (Saturday morning) includes the TagM in the readout
    • Hovanes found that he needs to update the diamond alignment software, so we continue taking DIRC data until he is ready to start the alignment.
  2. Issues
  3. Plan for the weekend
    • Continue DIRC commissioning
    • Diamond alignment whenever Hovanes is ready (daytime)
    • Sunday, if the diamond has been aligned, David CPP test for 1h
  4. Plan for later
    • Need to reschedule the tagger accidentals study
    • On Saturday morning the accelerator whiteboard is showing the spin dance moved to Tuesday swing
    • Alexandre's comprehensive runplan now at #9
    • Opportunistic access requests from Sasha and maybe Scot and maybe Hovanes
  5. Notes from this meeting.

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
  3. Reports
  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
    • 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
  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
