Status: The beam is now much more stable. Calorimeter calibration completed, ACD calibration completed, scanning of 200 GeV configurations almost completed. Some runs were repeated after it was found that 4 scintillators used for the beam tuning were still in and be moved out. The pressure in the 2 Cerenkovs (1.2 bars so far) was set to 0. The dependence of the calorimeter measured energy as a function of rate has been investigated ("baseline restoration" problem). The effect is clearly visible. We decide to limit the rate to 400 Hz.
Program: switch to 280 GeVand GeV and repeat same configurations. Specific BT configuration files files will be prepared by Luca and Carmelo to study the FHE efficiency using the SPS timing settings. As proposed by Anders, the TEM diagnostics will be on by default (BT 6 which is now the baseline).

Communications | - Magnet failure: MNP17 colling system failure at 1AM stopped data taking for several hours but no damage on hardware. Physics restarted after 2 hours w/o silicon tagger for CAL calibrations. Magnet repaired in the morning
- CU cooling system changes: CU/ISC cooling coil in the ISC base plate leaked: it was emptied and is now non available, we will rely on top cooling coil as no intervention is possible; the chiller was moved closer to the ISC to minimize thermalization of coolant with ambient through thermal exchange with the zone air, now chiller more efficient; fan added to cool XY table motors. Please look at the temperature during your shift |
Online Report
| - DAQ sync studies going on
- CU: Ric investigating phasing errors |
Offline Report
| Francesco:
- pipeline nicely running
- 1st 1000 evetns in SVAC ntuple duplicated
Claudia:
- offline monitor requires script to parse rcReport info and link to MC files (Navid working on that)
- MC and CU cooprdinate systems mismatch (check with Philippe)
Dave:
- no CAL-HI triggers in last night data as fhe values were saturated
|
Program | - Complete DAQ sync studies
- perform CU timing studies to optimize TACK (timing/script vs ext trigger manual delay)
- explore beam conditions
- ACD calibrations (ideally 5gev p, if NA 5gev e)
- CAL runs with e (Benoit)
- Tagger calibration start on 29 morning |
Notes | - Fill elogbook
- Take your shifts and launch runs yourself
