Test multiple trigger engines prior to beam | nov 17 | NA | NA | NA | NA | all BTs |
| change CNO thresholds, periodic frequency | |
Monitor beam rate and conditions | nov 18, 8-10 | C | 1.5Gev/n | 50-500Hz | play with focus to change beam intensityon CU | BT53 | 2519-2522 | spill is 6s long. monitor shows counts vary between 50-500Hz. | |
0 degree configuration | nov 18 | C | 1.5Gev/n | 100-200Hz | nominal | BT50, BT51, BT54 | 2527-2534 | 250Kevts at ~200Hz | CAL studies: |
30 degree | nov 18 | C | 1.5GeV/n | 260Hz | nominal | BT50, BT51, BT54 | 2535-2537 for beam tuning | 660Kevts |
|
-60 degree | nov 18 | C | 1.5GeV/n | 270Hz | nominal | BT50, BT51, BT54, BT56 | 2550-2553 | 645Kevts | beam through tower3 side, no ACD tile; BT50, BT51 have a CNO trigger engine which is not satisifed - most events are therefore read with the std engine auto-range, ZS associated with any other trigger than CNO |
0 degree | nov 18 7PM | C | 1.5GeV/n | 270Hz | nominal | BT3,BT50, BT51 |
| 2572 with BT3 (TKR only trigger) - 250Kevts | noticed larger fraction of TEM errors (from 2% to 3.5%) - probably due to higher rate in first part of spill when getting beam back from therapy |
0 degree Xe | nov 19 | Xe | 1GeV/n | 200hZ | nominal | BT50-BT51 | 2577-2581 | played with fifo settings to reduce fifo full errors attempt to get different ions by shooting beam through a target | 2577 very high rate (10KHz) |
0 degree Xe on Al target | nov 19 4.30AM | Xe | 1GeV/n | 200Hz-1KHz | nominal | BT53 with different FIFO full settings | 2582-2594 | attempt to get different ions by shooting beam through a target | 2582 1.6KHz rate |
scintillation measurement in CDE | nov 19 | Xe | 1GeV/n | 200Hz | nominal | NA | NA - contact Benoit to get data | place a CAL cristal in front of CU and record signal pulse | clear saturated signal from Xe, secondary peaks visible |
charge injection with beam | nov 19 | Xe | 1GeV/n | 600-1000Hz | nominal | CalibGen | Xe beam: 2595-2607 | performed with beam while taking scintillation measurement |
|
Very low rate | nov 19 | C | 1.5GeV/n | as low as possible | nominal | BT58 | 2627 | ~15Kevts |
|
0 degree | nov 19 | C | 1.5GeV/n | ~600Hz | nominal | BT50,BT51,BT53 |
| compare with runs taken before Xe beam | not performed |
