<- 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 (0.7+3.5+), BANU (0+0.3) for the last 3 shifts
    • About xxxN triggers collected.
  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]
