Thursday, March 12

1. Last 24 hours
   • DAQ "data corruption" error from FCAL crate -- seen before?
   • 10% drop in PS coincidence rate seen at beginning of new run, 04:42
2. Reports/Issues
   • new labels on trigger monitoring plot
   • Root-spy guidance help pages -- already implemented, thanks David!
     • default page is brief explanation + expert to call in case of questions, issues
     • experts can add instructions if they want to be called less often
     • updates to text are through github -- project??
3. Run Plan
   • Production

Friday, March 13

1. Last 24 hours
   • DigiHits_occupancy monitoring plots missing? -- Naomi
   • HV raised on many (25) TAGH channels -- Beni
   • beam unstable (when available) during afternoon -- Alexander
   • beam energy step, 2 MeV, understood -- Reinhard
2. Reports/Issues
   • updates to rootspy guidance
   • bubblers at add line ok? -- Mariana
   • apparent changes in BCal attenuation lengths -- Mark Dalton
   • LED ref TDC monitoring plot missing? -- Mariana
   • rapid drop in transmission close to 15% -- Alexandre
3. Run Plan
   • Tentative new make-shift schedule
   • TAC run today, after Hall C done
   • Production

For the period starting evening of Tuesday, March 17

Tentative Revised Shift Schedule -- Viral Edition

   • difficulties with DIRC hv, resolved -- Justin
   • drop in collimator transmission by 20% -- Alexander
     • reduced current tests during transmission dip
     • harp scans show over-focus in y at collimator, [1]
     • gradual recovery within 23 hours
2. Reports/Issues
   • fadc250 data corruption issue? -- Beni
     • problem narrowed down to one fadc250 module
   • unable to reproduce notch structure around coinc peak in TAGM timing monitoring plot -- Richard
     • standard guidance on how to reproduce monitoring plots following fixes?
   • repeated DAQ start issues resolved by rebooting rocs
     • shift crew is losing time retrying failed starts
     • can we get standard guidance on how to find which roc is holding busy?
