Status: First day of beam. We were supposed to have the beam at midnight, we got it at 3PM. The timing was looked at, the calorimeter  signal is now coming earlier with respect to the tracker as compared to PS.  BT 5 configutation with cal/tkr in the middle of the trigger window at SPS is now the baseline.The calibration of the calorimeter (cross pattern) at 100 GeV was started then interrupted to let the experts optimize the beam tuning at the highest energies. Many interruptions due to machine problems. Benoit attended the weekly users' meeting (moved from Thursadt to Wednesday as tomorrow is a holiday in Switzerland): there will be machine development (no beam)  from next Tuesday 8 AM to Wednesday 4 PM. A threat on our running with the "0 mrd" configuration (allowing us to get the highest rate at high energy)  was mentioned during the meeting, as the H2 users (sharing the same target) would like a less detrimental configuration for them. Finally, a way around was found and we wil kep keep this configuration at least until Monday.

Analysis: the first quick comparison with the MC simulations at 100 GeV shows a reasonable agreement for the tracker hit multiplicity (the multiplicity is larger for the data) and the energy deposited per layer in the calorimeter.  No comparison is available for the ACD yet.  More simulation simulations are needed.

 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
