Procedures

• Hall A call-in instructions:

- Call RC first.
- Techs on site 7-4:30 Mon-Th, 7-11AM Fr. RC will call Hall A work coordinator (Zak) during normal working hours. After hours, RC calls Tech on-call.
- After 9pm everything non-emergency needs to be deferred. What is emergency and what's not? Call RC. RC talks with Mark to decide.

• Hall Access procedure:

- Access check list (binder on the counting room desk) needs to be filled out before making an access.
- Scan (take pictures with phone) and post it to the logbook.
- Any work inside the SBS, BB boundary need to have PS locked out -- requires two QEWs to throw the big switch. Exception: field measurements.

Readiness for Beam

• CW beam is ready
  • MCC completed collimator scan, found edge (https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4179721)
  • MCC was able to deliver CW beam with 3He target SOFs with No target
  • Reference cell IC calibration completed with N2 at 22 psi
  • Target polarization is ~33% as of now (experts are monitoring)
  • Shift crews are doing the beam restoration process with Carbon hole

• New instruction for shift crew when changing target:
  • When we chnage target, make sure the SOFs of Target BPMs are set to the correct values.
  • SOFs for different targets: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4179164

Subsystems Checklist

For each subsystem we ask that the responsible person go over the following points:

1. The overall status of your subsystem
2. Will your subsystem be ready well before Hall lock-up on Friday or at the latest by Monday morning?
3. Does your system being ready depend on your team only or are outside resources required?

Subsystems

• SBS magnet and Bigbite magnets
  • BigBite magnet
  • work as expected
• Corrector magnets:
  • work as expected
• Target status (magnets, measurements, laser, installation, alignment, polarization, power etc)
• HCal (Jiwan Poudel)
  • VME DAC GUI does not read the correct threshold -- pending issue to be fixed
• Bigbite (Arun Tadepalli)
• Counting House Alarms (Bill Henry)
• DAQ (Alex Camsonne)
• GEMs (Holly Szumila-Vance)
• Moller polarimeter (Don Jones)
  • Paul K. suggested that we take CW beam (5uA or higher) parity data with IHWP out to check if we have reasonable PITA offsets for that IHWP state.
• Hodoscopes:

Shift schedule

• Need TO for Sunday swing

Preliminary run plan

1. First, bring the beam safely into the hall (Beam recovery procedure: https://sbs.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HOW_TOs#Beam_Recovery_Procedure)
2. Target performance assessment by target group, TO
3. Reference IC calibrations

1. Take production data if the target is ready
   1. Production: 1h for 5, 10, 20, 30uA => run 30uA until target experts confirm everything is as it should be. These will be singles (not coincidence). PS5 should be set to 2 for helicity readback.
2. Charge asymmetry: Paul will run feedback once a day until hall C comes up.

List of items in case target isn’t ready:

1. Take data on reference cell at 10 atm H2 (portions that add up to 1 day)
2. BigBite Sieve slit => only during day (Techs needed)
   1. with 8 carbon foils and take optics for 1 hr at 40 uA (Sean/Andrew - confirm time)
   2. 1 hour for single foil (magnets off) => Chance BBcal HV setting to appropriate values
3. Moller measurement
4. BigBite/single foil location reconstruction (~20 mins?) - BigBite + HCAL detector experts on call consulting analysis experts like Andrew/Sean (magnet on)
