Last 24h:
- No beam from 5:20pm Tuesday until early am Thurs due to LCW/power problem. Resumed production ~3:30am.
- New harp scan Previous harp scan
- Work done during the access:
  - magnetic field measurements around CCAL
  - 15 FCAL bases replaced and re-terminated one cable
  - faulty FDC chiller replaced
  - rebalanced the server power load on rack 13
  - position survey CCAL
  - correct shielding at the left (downstream) PS arm
Remaining issues:
- Tagger hodoscope time shifts
- communication with accel. w.r.t. tagger magnet - Paul Vasilauskis (Ops group leader): "I am putting out to my staff to contact the hall if they do need to touch the magnet and am looking into adding wording to the magnet screens"
- BCAL noise at 10 o'clock
- Bleedthrough
Plan:
- When the beam is back continue production at 200nA after the usual checks (radiation levels & harp scans)
- Continue running with the solenoid on & target full until Friday or later
- Pass change for A&B Saturday morning (A->4 pass)
- Expect downtime Monday morning for VIP tour, start time TBC probably ~7am.
- Ops will need another maintenance day before the energy change

Friday, October 22

Last 24h: Production runs continued smoothly until 2:51pm when an arc magnet tripped. About 7pm the team looking at the power supply found that there was a short in any one of the 42 magnets downstream, they will resume work in the morning. Shifts were cancelled until 9am.

arc 7 trip

- Started filling the target a little before 9:30, with Chris Keith watching, and the shift crew here.
- We went into controlled access so that Tim could go in to do something for CPP.
