Run Plan, 2020 (Last updated: Feb 18th, 2020 @ 9:00 AM) Requests Nothing at the moment Production: Electron-inbending Configuration, D2 target @ 10.4 GeV beam DAQ config:PROD66; Trigger file:rgf_inbending_v2_1.trg Put beam blocker in in front of Faraday Cup Ask MCC for 150 nA beam current. Keep live time at 75%. Adjust current accordingly and log it. Restart a new run every 4h During the run submit screenshots for the DAQvnc, Beamline overview, RTPC overview from clascss. Run clas12mon over 100000 events and submit the occupancy plots. Screenshot for DAQ/Trigger GUIs to logbook when beam is only ON. Beam Restauration (Feb 19) Keep not changed: ALL the detectors are off except FTOF (Read note # 1 for ftof turn off cases). put 20 mm collimator beam blocker is out change the beam to electron call mcc to unmask U/M/D counters. keep BOM masked. Thresholds on U/M/D is 1M/1M/1M and dwel time is 50 ms. When beam comes back: turn HV off on the ftof Call MCC and ask to take the beam to the FC and ask for 5 nA beam for harp scans to the FC. compare the 2c21, 2c24, 2H01 positions to the reference below. follow the procedures for the harp scans 2c21, 2c24, 2H01 [1] compare the results of the reference scans below. if what you get is similar to the references, call the mcc and tell them the the beam is acceptable and take beam away. At the end of each run, follow the standard DAQ restart sequence (Note, this might be different from the instructions coming up on RunControl.) "end run", "cancel", "reset" if the run ended correctly: "download", "prestart", "go" if the run did not end correctly or if any ROCs had to be rebooted: "configure", "download", "prestart", "go" References and Standards: (last update Feb 18, 2020 @ 19:00 PM.)

General Instructions: The main lights in the Hall (dome lights) and the Forward Carriage lights are being kept off because of light leaks affecting some of the detectors. If these lights are switched on during an access, they should be switched off when leaving the Hall. Note that the dome lights when switched off cannot be turned back on immediately because they require 10-15 min to cooldown. Do not run more than 30 minutes above 30 nA with 5-pass beam without the beam blocker in front of Faraday cup. Put beam blocker in for long running at high currents for 5 pass operations. Turn DC HV off only for beam tuning; if no beam is available or when beam is stable, keep them on even if you are not taking data. In case of loss of communication with IOCBTARG, follow instructions at https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3502218 With any issue contact On-Call Experts or RC - do not spend more than 15-20 min trying to fix the problem. Check for and read any comments to log-book entries made during your shift. Once Per Day (At 13:00): Call RTPC expert to purge the target and fill it with the appropriate target gas. Complete RICH recovery procedure - see Note: 11 below Every Shift: Follow run plan as outlined by RC If any concern about beam stability, ask MCC if orbit locks are on (they should be). Keep shift summary up to date in HBLOG. Record all that happens. Document any beam condition change and send scaler GUIs to HBLOG Fill out BTA hourly. Click "Load from EPICS" to automatically fill the left side. Upload spectra from clas12mon at begin and end of shift and cross-check with reference spectra Reset clas12mon every ~2 hours and inspect spectra Fill and submit the shift checklist in the logbook Every Run: Log screenshots of: main scaler GUI display Trigger rate gui Beam strip charts When checking the ECAL response, make sure to look at the histograms for each sector by using the sector buttons at the bottom of the clas12mon window - if adcecal* or/and adcpcal* ROC crashes, there will be no alarm and the histograms are the way to notice this issue. Same holds for FT.

• Note 1: FTOF HVs: The goal is to minimize the number of power cycles of the dividers.
  • should be turned off during the initial beam tuning down to the Faraday Cup after CLAS12 has been off for a long shutdown, when doing a Moller run, when doing harp scans, or if there is tuned/pulsed beam in the upstream beamline.
  • should be left on after an initial beam tune has been established and if there are only minor steering adjustments and “tweaks” being made.
  • if shift workers have doubts what to do with the HVs, they can always contact the TOF on-call expert for advice.

• Note 2: In case of a Torus and/or Solenoid Fast Dump do the following:
  1. Notify MCC to request beam OFF and to drop Hall B status to Power Permit
  2. Call Engineering on-call
  3. Make separate log entry with copies to HBTORUS and HBSOLENOID logbooks. In the "Notify" field add Ruben Fair, Probir Goshal, Dave Kashy and esr-users@jlab.org
  4. Notify Run Coordinator
  5. Turn off all detectors

• Note 3: When beam is being delivered to the Faraday Cup:
  1. the Fast Shut Down elements: Upstream, Midstream, Downstream, BOM, and Solenoid should always be in the state UNMASKED
  2. No changes to the FSD threshold should be made without RC or beamline expert approval

• Note 4: Any request for a special run or change of configuration has to be approved by the RC & documented

• Note 5: Carefully check the BTA every hour and run the script btaGet.py to print for you what HAS TO BE in BTA for this hour. Edit BTA if it is incorrect.

• Note 6: Reset CLAS12MON frequently to avoid histogram saturation. If CLAS12MON is restarted change MAX scale to 10 (default is 5) for DC normalized occupncy histograms. This would prevent them from saturation. See log entry [11]

• Note 7: Shift workers must check the occupancies! Use this tool to compare to previous runs: [12]

• Note 8: Check the vacuum periodically, make sure vacuum is not higher than 5e-5

• Note 9: Always reset the CFD threshold after all power off/on on the CND CAMAC crate

After the CAMAC crate (camac1) holding the CND CFD boards is switched off for any reason, it is mandatory to reset the associated thresholds typing the following command from any clon machine terminal: $CODA/src/rol/Linux_x86_64/bin/cnd_cfd_thresh -w 0

If this command is failing and the crate is not responding, reboot it as follows: roc_reboot camac1

• Note 10: Shift workers should anyway check routinely scalers to verify they update correctly and make a logbook entry if anomalies are observed after starting a new run.

• Note 11:

For RICH recovery procedures, please see Log entry https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3562273. This would apply in the cases of 1. DAQ crash: rich4 is not responding or 2. RICH alarms (LV,missing tile, temperature etc). If it does not work or you are uncertain about what to do, contact the RICH expert on call. Please, note that missing tiles typically occur due to lost communication. Keep in mind that the recovery procedure will kill DAQ. If DAQ is running for other purpose, rather than data taking (for which the RICH acceptance would be important) do not initiate the recovery procedure.

• • The most critical parameter for RICH is the temperature of the photosensors. If the temperature rises above limits, an interlock will automatically turn the RICH HV and LV. If this happens, notify the expert on call and keep taking data without RICH.

• Note 12: Asymmetry on FTCal ADC Scalers: If the beam current is 5 - 10 nA, and the observed asymmetry is out of specs, i.e. > +-2.5%, check (1) that the beam position is according to specs, (2) the response of the rest of CLAS (compare the scalers of FTOF, CTOF, ECAL, etc. from the Scalers GUI to the reference for that current, as posted above). If positions and other detectors do not show any anomalies, keep running. The ADC scalers require at least ~15 nA for a reliable response.

• Note 13: If ROC mmft1 is 100% busy: power cycle FTT LV (FT->FTT Overview, HV stays ON), roc_reboot mmft1, wait until it reboots (ssh mmft1 to verify). If the first LV recycle/mmft1 reboot doesn’t work call FT expert
