== Target Foil Extrapolation (Sat Jan 17 - Mon Jan 19) ==
; 14 foils to study + 1 thru hole
*spectra – with typical low ~2 MeV energy threshold
*statistics – possibly higher ~3 MeV threshold to reduce dump events
; Deadtime
* Semi-int mode we use w/ FADC/TDC/scalar is ~5% @ 1500 Hz
; Inelastic fraction
*Worst case ~200 Hz/det  (best case ~25 Hz/det) 
*Energy threshold will be defined to set this value
*Time veto is tricky and too risky at 62 MHz
; Assuming I=5uA, R<1500Hz, 200Hz/det background
*28 hours * 1.2 / 8 = 4-5 shifts
*dP/P sets N_elastic (using 1σ analysis cut of all 4 det)
*Measurement of of inelastic (dump) events figures into run time

=Procedures=

== How to contact people ==
;Joe's cell : 757-344-0188

== How to reach the Mott logbook ==
;Mott logbook is [https://logbooks.jlab.org/book/mottlog here] 

== How to know who's on shift ==
[[File:140112_shifts.png|thumb|center|300px]]

== How to be a shift worker ==
; Beam Driver = Shift Leader
#Control delivered beam, especially adjusting PITA with IHWP=IN/OUT
#Make sure FSD (BCM, Target) protection is used
#Monitor beam loss and vacuum levels
#Save and document settings
#Write shift summary in logbook
; DAQ Driver
#Configure/Start/Stop DAQ
#Monitor event rates and maintain dead time <5%
#Coordinate run start/stop
#COPY run information into standard excel sheet
; Analysis Driver
#Decode, analyze and inspect runs
#COPY run information into standard excel sheet 
#Determine number of events needed for IHWP=IN and OUT

== How to measure emittance ==
; Beam Setup
#We measure the beam emittance and Twiss at entrance of MQJ0L02 by varying MQJ0L02 and observing response on harp IHA0L03
#To simplify matters we turn off the intervening quadrupoles (MQJ0L02A = MQJ0L03A =MQJ0L03 = 0)
#Obviously, make sure beam can transports from MQJ0L02 to IHA0L03 w/ those quads off (use BPM's and viewers)
#The configuration changes MQJ0L02 B for 21 K1 values (-3.0, -3.2, … , -5.8, -6.0); this takes ~45 minutes, so a smaller data set could be used too
; qsUtility
#We use program named qsUtility to automatically to make the measurements and analyze the data
#The measurement configuration file is here and can also be used as a template /cs/prohome/apps/q/qsUtility/pro/fileio/config/IHA0L03_jmg1.xml
#qsUtility is documented [http://opweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEDocs/q/qsUtility/pro/doc/dataCollector_user_guide/dataCollector_user_guide.html here]
; qsUtility assumes v=c
#One must scale the Energy [MeV] entry box as the tool uses this formula B'L [G] = K1[1/m^2] * L[m] * E[MeV] * 10/0.2998

== How to measure momentum ==
; Note quads used for centering
#MQJ0L02 = IPM0L02
#MQJ0L03 = IPM0L03
#MQD5D00 = IPM5D00
#MQD5D01 = IPM5D01
; Center quads
#Mike Spata suggests standard dithering, as we do for solenoids
#When complete update the BPM .SOF field and log result
; Momentum measurement
#Excite minimum number of correctors and record values 
#Set or measure BL using calculation on MDL0L02 control screen
#Make note of BL for zeroing IPM0L02-IPM0L03 and IPM5D00-IPM5D01 with (intervening quads OFF, correctors OFF or recorded)
#Calculate momentum from KE as p = sqrt [T*(2m+T)], so T = 5.0 MeV =>  p 5.487 MeV/c
#Calculate fraction KE spread as dT/T = (T+2m)/(T+m) * dp/p, so dT/T=1.09 * dp/p @ T=5.0

== How to use Elegant files ==
; Elegant files for 2D, 3D, 5D, 0L regions
# locate /grames/elegant/MOTT/mott3/
# set mott3.ele beamline to be either 0L, 2D, 3D, 5D
# set mott3.ele emittance, Twiss and momentum spread
; To run
# Copy files to local area
# Interactively: Start IEE from terminal and then load elegant file: /grames/elegant/MOTT/mott3/mott3.ele
# Command: From terminal execute elegant mott3.ele
