<- Back to Run Coordination Meetings:Fall2017 Spring2018 Run

Thursday, January 25

  1. Notes from the previous 24 hrs:
    • Beam was off from 9am till 5:20 pm. At the end, Hall A was able to get their 22.5 uA current. Since then, beam was relatively stable.
    • Upon return of the beam, a harp scan was performed: MCC and Our harp. Beam seems to be acceptable.
    • After harp scan, about an hour has been spent on trigger and DAQ studies by Sasha and Sergei.
    • We switched to production running at 7pm and has been taking production data since then.
    • ABU 10.5 hrs (0.7+3.5+6.3), BANU 0.8 hrs (0+0.3+0.5) for the last 3 shifts
    • About xxxN triggers collected. Total: Spreadsheet: number of triggers
  2. Issues:
    • A couple of hours of beam time has been lost on fighting with DAQ while starting the next run (java out of memory, rebooting rocks, etc.)
    • Sometime, a histogram or two would disappear in rootspy and reappear after monitoring restart.
    • Once, a coherent edge had to be nudged by more than 50 MeV.
    • BCAL ADC/TDC timing offsets jumped by 32 ns for some modules: [1]
    • Low level monitoring
    • Any other issues?
  3. Short term run plan:
    • TAC run: should we do it today (Halls A and C are down)?
    • 2 hours of AMO 300nA running tomorrow morning.
      • Would it be better to start it at 7am or 8am?
      • Are any configuration changes necessary (HV, etc.)?
      • Who needs to be here for such run?
      • RADCON will follow this run with their Fast access study.
    • Consequent Hall restricted access to fix TPOL noise issue.
    • Simultaneous tagger hall access to fix bad TAGH channels.
    • Possible Saturday morning access as well.
    • Run plan chart: Week 3
