Monday, February 10

1. Last 72 hours
   • Friday
     • Beam sent to hall around 08:30
     • Harp scans
     • Prodcution runs @350nA until 23:50 -> no beam until the next morning
   • Saturday
     • Beam sent to hall around 12:00
     • Harp scans (requested by MCC)
     • Prodcution runs @350nA
     • Found high rates in high photon tagger counter (see issues)
     • Had to request beam tune -> Unusal tagger rates + ION chamber trips (see: [1])
   • Sunday
     • Prodcution runs @350nA
     • Harp scans
2. Issues
   • Variation in PS and main trigger rates over the weekend ([2],[3],[4])
   • High rates in high photon tagger counters (energy distribution, harp scan electron, harp scan gamma, epics after tune)
3. Reports
   • Coherent edge postion vs time [5]
   • Initial PS enhancement [6], [7]
   • Beam downtime due to ioc (see: [8] for details)
   • Harp scan results:
     • Friday: 5C11, 5C11B,HALO:T:electron
     • Saturday: 5C11,5C11B, HALO:T:electron
     • Sunday: 5C11, 5C11B, TAGH:A:3
4. Plans for today

Friday, February 7

1. Last 24 hours
   • Production runs @350nA until 14:00
   • Hovanes worked on diamond position for JD70-105 0/90 (see reports)
   • Continued data taking until 18:15
   • Connection issues with rocDIRC -> Bill, Sergey and network expert on call had to work until late night to fix the problem
   • Accelerator crew was having network issues too
   • Hall went into beam permit around 1:15am
   • Accelerator crew having trouble with control system (see issues)
2. Issues
   • DIRC cart leaking (see: [9])
   • Problems with 1L12 and 2L24 (see: [10])
   • Accelerator site having problems with IOCs in alarm handler (see: [11])
3. Reports
   • New diamond position for JD70-105 0/90 (see: [12],[13])
   • Communication problems with rocDIRC (see: [14],[15],[16])
   • Network problems on accelerator site (see: [17],[18])
4. Plans for today
   • Production runs
   • Access to hall ?
5. Plan(s) for next week
   • Monday: Hall A will change setup for pol. meas. -> No beam from ~ 8:00 on (see: [19])
6. No meeting this weekend -> Next meeting: Monday, Feb 10
