1. Last 24:
   • taking data till 5:20pm - 400M triggers
   • At 5:20pm SL dropped due to LCW/power problem; NL shut down to prevent tripping; tagger magnet ramp down https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3928353
   • tagger magnet restored - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3928399
   • empty target reconstructed - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3928026
   • timing calibration https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3928409
2. Remaining issues:
   • tagger NMR not scanning (communication with accel. w.r.t. tagger magnet)
   • BCAL noise at 10 o'clock
   • Bleedthrough
3. Plan:
   • plan for day/swing on Wednesday - maintenance
     • position survey CCAL - DOESN'T require RadCon survey
     • correct shielding at the left (downstream) PS arm
     • do measurements with magnetometer
     • FCAL work
     • troubleshoot the faulty FDC chiller
   • when the beam is back continue production at 200nA

1. Over the weekend:
   • Target emptied Friday 5pm - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925563
   • Long downtime (flooding in accel.) started 5pm on Friday, beam came for an hour in the evening and was restored 6am Saturday.
   • Since then very productive: 1.25B events on empty target
   • Some noise in BCAL at 10 o'clock - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3927356
   • two-peak structure TDC's(of all detectors) - RF https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3926223 solved after restarting
   • TAGM TDC calibration problem - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3926306 solved after several runs
   • NMR probe stop scanning https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3926647 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3926650 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3927378
   • last bleedthrough run taken with low pulser rate https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925916
   • FDC wire thresholds optimized (lowered) - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925360
   • online monitoring files not copied to CUE workdisk - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3926767
   • archiving trigger rate - solved by David https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925225
2. Remaining issues:
   • tagger NMR not scanning
   • BCAL noise at 10 o'clock
   • Bleedthrough
3. Plan:
   • 9am pass change - start filling the target
     • install the FDC chiller power switch - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925381
     • FCAL work
     • after beam comes - harp scans
   • plan for day/swing on Wednesday - maintenance
     • position survey CCAL - requires RadCon survey prior
     • install additional shielding at the left (downstream) PS arm
     • do measurements with magnetometer

1. In last 24 hours:
   • power of infiniband switch tripped (one strip cord)- causing 4h UED -https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924903 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925176
     • group disk not mounted https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925185
     • trigger rate not archived https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925225
   • FDC chiller replaced https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924510
   • beacon bulb replaced - took 2h
   • FDC hot wires https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924538 - no more noise but higher discr. thresholds (need 30 min to optimize the thresholds)
   • 6h downtime - NL cold box + other things
   • harp scans - https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924829 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924830 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924845 https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924851
   • ~400M triggers for the last 24h
   • pulser left at 2kHz after the downtime https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924927 - all data after that till 23:30 with 2kHz pulser - don't forget to restore pulser to 100Hz once you are done with your test
   • more rootspy nodes https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3924610 (David)
2. Remaining issues:
   • fix remaining problems on gluon machines (trigger rate not archived https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3925225)
   • Bleedthrough
3. Plan:
   • run till 5pm with full target, then with empty over the weekend - inform target group (Chris) when emptying/filling the target
   • pass change on Monday
   • day/swing on Wednesday - maintenance
