  1. Past 24 hours:
    • Short access after meeting
    • gluon01 is back with a new kernel and graphics driver
    • Production running
  2. Issues
    • Problematic FCAL channels near beamline
      • One base lost connection and was recovered by power cycling the power supply. This happens 1-2 times per week. Right now I (Colin) am the only one capable of doing this. Need to train more people how to spot and fix these errors. It is a relatively simple process, but one that should not be left to the shift crew.
      • One base lost HV near beam line.Follow up. Access to replace after morning meeting. Friendly reminder: please do not call Colin at night about base problems. Emails and texts are fine.
  3. Reports
  4. Today:
    • Production: 200nA, Al 10-4
  5. Run Plan
    • Production running
    • TAC run
    • Hall A performing beam modulation studies Tuesday owl shift. Will cause 1 MeV fluctuations in beam energy. They will do a test Monday morning from 8-9am.

      • There are parity quality beam testes (PQB) scheduled for Hall A Monday and Tuesday, but this should not affect the beam delivered to us.
    • RF Recovery scheduled for Wednesday
