Run Checklist
The following info must MUST be checked/reported for every shift
for each run enter in the elogbook
...
- MNP17 current settings (if applicable)
- note notes (e.g. beam intensity, no-beam time, loss of synchronization, change of configuration such as magnet settings, table position)
for each run monitor in the on-line monitor
- DAQ synchronization (check the diagnostics panel, in particular the top left plot should have hits only in the band +-50ns)
for each run monitor in the AD on-line monitor
- for each chamber check the histogram showing the number of hits, if it shows events with more that 128 hits, it means that the pedestal of the Si chambers of the tagger has shifted and must be refreshed. Do the following:
- take a pedestal run in the ancillary
- refresh the pedestal file for the CU online-monitor and for the AD DAQ
for each shift check the following
- CU temperature, every 2 hours, either monitoring the housekeeping data from RunControl or the CU data-logger, which you can see by looking at VNC monitor on pcglast22
- Cerenkov pressure, once a shift
The following is a more detailed list of duties for shifters.
This is a list of steps to be followed while on shift. Please note that when we change configurations some of the reference plots may also change
