Readiness for Beam

Accelerator readiness:

  • CG: beam restoration to hall A now projected to start swing Tue Sept 12. We will need to have a shift crew starting on Wed Sept 13th.
  • SSG still has a number of items for the HCO but they will probably get to them by the end of the week (after completing Hall C work). Bill worked with them to complete the target FSD work today.
  • Ed Folts completing paperwork with everything ready by tomorrow (since it's just name changes no need to resign)

Hall readiness and lockup schedule (Zak Remele)

  • ZR: SBS overtemp issue resolved for now; potential for acid flush on Monday is SBS powersupply issue persisits
  • ZR: plan to do checklist on Tue (everyone out of the hall by lunch)

Beamline readiness: beamline quads and harps, bcms, bpms, ion chambers (Ciprian Gal)

  • Daniel Moser: Beam plans for reviving the target protection systems (the position locks and ramp rate) in place (Bill will review).
    • Beam current limit: 45uA.

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

  • HCal (Jiwan Poudel)
    • repaired 3 ch; 2 more chan to go (today and tomorrow) => in the logbook
  • Bigbite (Arun Tadepalli)
    • already took some cosmic data and things look ok
  • Target cell status(Arun/Gordon)
    • Gradient field probe measurements complete; magnet behaved
    • tomorrow morning Bogdan wants to do the compass measurements and install as much as possible (polarize it over the weekend and do alignment on Monday and dress up the cell)
  • Target laser status (alignment, polarization, power etc)
    • last step remains to use the alignment laser to get the ladder set up
  • Counting House Alarms (Bill Henry)
    • Bill tested the alarms and instructions for shift crew response in the wiki (needs further revision?)
  • DAQ (Alex Camsonne)
    • fixed the SBS crate
    • Paul K needs to check the helicity (parity DAQ is fine), AC checked the raster
    • plan to run parity DAQ and do online (active) charge feedback for A and C
    • warning message on the helicity scaler on the LHRS (may need to be replace the scaler board) => PK and AC will look into it
  • GEMs (Holly Szumila-Vance)
    • Vimukthi: fixed issue with SBS and BB GEMs (LEMO cables was the culprit - logbook still needs to be made)
  • Target magnets and measurements (Bogdan W. and Bill Henry)
    • WH: done.
  • Moller polarimeter (Don Jones)
    • Target motion not working (Ellen looking into it)
    • we want to do at least one measurement at the beginning; all systems that could be checked now (besides the target) work as expected
    • magnet not cold; expect to get it there end of week (over the weekend)
  • SBS magnet and Bigbite magnets ramp and hold?
    • seems to work for now
  • Corrector magnets:
    • need to be tested by Ellen; CG provided max current
  • Hodoscopes:
    • WH: the HV GUI does not populate the EPICS variables; the instructions to restart it don't work;
    • GP: the power on the crate was turned on today; will try to power them on from the GUI; and perhaps take a cosmic run

Preliminary run plan

  1. First, bring the beam safely into the hall (Beam recovery procedure - Jiwan and William Henry https://sbs.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HOW_TOs#Beam_Recovery_Procedure)

Q: At what stage is the SBS turned ON? WH: will post links to the corrector checkout

  1. BigBite/single foil location reconstruction (~20 mins?) - BigBite + HCAL detector experts on call consulting analysis experts like Andrew/Sean (magnet on)
  2. Target performance assessment by target group - Arun (Why hasn’t the target reached xx% polarization?), tell us when we will get there (Target group - Arun) and plan for those hours in between
  3. Take production data!

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
    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 depending on availability of people and results from Hall C
