Run Coordinator and Target Expert Schedule

Longterm Run Plan

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• If you have symptoms or a positive COVID test, do NOT come to your shift - instead, inform the PDL and the RC immediately so that replacements can be arranged
• If needed, worker shifts can also be taken from off-site - again, inform the PDL and RC. Also, make sure that you follow the instructions under the "Worker Shift" Tab - you need some lead time to set up!
• Before leaving the hall and going to beam permit check that dome lights, forward carriage lights, and pie tower lights are OFF
• NEW: We have a new policy NOT to leave the beam viewer in the beam at all times, to avoid damage to electronics, cameras etc. Please REMOVE the beam viewer unless we are actively tuning the beam or calibrating beam position/raster.
• NEW: We have a new FSD condition that the raster is operating.
  • IF there is any ammonia sample (NH3 and ND3) in the target, the raster MUST be operating at all times. The Raster FSD must be UNMASKED. Orbit locks MUST be OFF (except for brief moments to restore beam position).
  • For beam tuning or other non-rastered beam, the Raster FSD must be MASKED.
• NOTE: It should no longer be necessary to quit RasterMon at the end of each run and restart after a successful "Go" for the next run, but if DAQ crashes, you should do that. The correct raster calibration constants should be automatically restored to their correct values - see https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4004055 - if not, enter them through "Config" by hand.
• REMINDER FOR ALL EXPERTS: Please take care to fill out the BTA carefully and correctly. The info from EPICS is not always correct, e.g. when taking data with low beam current, you should change the ABU to the proper (estimated) time by hand instead of simply accepting "0" if you are actually taking data.

Run Plan: June 2022

ONGOING ISSUES

• x-Raster power supply oscillations

Short Range Plan

• On NH3
  • Reverse polarization of NH3 (in progress)
  • Production data on NH3 4nA 100M events per run until 6:30 am
  • Spin dance:
    • 6:30am Moller run
    • 8:30 am (or earlier if we are ready) MCC will start the spin dance (Change the Wien angle and we do Moller runs) The spin dance should not go longer that 11 am-12pm
  • Production data on NH3 4nA 100M events per run until Thursday at 6:30 am (beam will go off at that time for maintenance day)
• Thursday 7:30 day shift: maintenance day. Hall B will be in controlled access
  • Helium damage tests: D. Carman
  • Test the ND3 material
  • Test the new NH3 material (if time permits)
  • Fix the power supply of the raster
  • Switch to empty target
• On empty target
  • TBA

5-pass (10.55 GeV) Running conditions

• Torus at 100% current, inbending electrons. Setpoint +3766 A
• Solenoid setpoint +2417.5 A
• Establish optimal compromise between raster size (if possible, 7 mm radius), luminosity (goal: <5 nA), and background.
• Run duration 100M events or 4 hours, whichever comes first.
  • For empty target runs, increase beam current as much as possible (up to 15 nA).

DAQ configuration

• Configuration PROD66, trigger file rgc_300MeV_v1.0_no_DC.trg
• NOTE: UNLESS a RICH problem crashes the DAQ, do NOT interrupt an otherwise smooth run to do a RICH recovery - instead do this in between runs.
• NOTE: BOTH the shift expert AND the shift worker MUST check and reset monitoring histograms at least once every 30-60 minutes to make sure there are no major detector problems.Watch the raster pattern!
• At the end of each run, follow the STANDARD DAQ RESTART SEQUENCE:
  • "end run", if the run ended correctly then: "prestart", "go"
  • if the run did not end correctly or if any ROCs had to be rebooted:
    • "cancel", "reset"
    • "configure", "download", "prestart", "go"
• After each step, make sure it is completed in the Run Control message window. If a ROC has crashed, find which one it is, issue a roc_reboot command ON JUST THAT ROC and try again. Contact the DAQ expert if there are any questions.

References and Standards

Solenoid set-point of 2417.5 A results in read back 2419.57 A and exactly 5.00 T field on center Raster settings

• x: Vpp=2.4 V offset =0V
• y: Vpp=2.4 V offset =0V
• Fundamental Period = 5 s

Nominal Beam Positions

• 2H01,x = -1.4 mm, y = 0.6 mm (only used/useful without rastering) (NEW values!)
• 2C24, X: -2 mm, Y: 0.6 mm (orbit lock)

• Upstream: 2000 Hz
• Midstream: 2000 Hz

Reference Monitoring Histograms

Counter rates

• Upstream counters integrated rates: 0-15 Hz (acceptable up to 100 Hz are acceptable) @50 nA.
• Midstream counters: 10-20 Hz (acceptable up to 50 Hz) @50 nA.
• Counting rates of ~ hundreds of Hz may indicate bad beam tune or bleed-through from other Halls.

Known issues

1. ECAL: ECAL_HV_SEC2_WI_E36 is off as it does not hold voltage
2. DC: hole in sector 3, superlayer 6, would likely need a major physical repair on the chamber itself

NOTE: BOTH the shift expert AND the shift worker MUST check monitoring histograms at least once every 30 - 60 minutes to make sure there are no major detector problems. Follow the [Short Term Schedule] as outlined by RC includes Run Plan, DAQ configuration, and References and Standards Keep shift summary up to date in HBLOG. Record all that happens. Polarized target issues: In all cases contact the polarized target expert on call. Examples to keep an eye on: Ice on the run valve See the run valve via camera http://hallbcam04/view/index.shtml, (see also Camera on PT12 -- web link at Lognumber 4002803.) Example of ice on the valve, see https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/4001225. If you see ice, contact the expert on call. NMR running The JLab Polarization Display is seen via a VNC window in the counting room. Here, the NMR Controls' blue bar should be moving, indicating that the NMR is running and the polarization is measured. If the NMR is not running, contact the expert on call. Alarms from System RG-C Polarized Target (alarm handler). If you get an alarm, ... Do a RICH recovery (press the RICH Recovery button on the GUI) once daily during day shift, between runs. Please log in shift summary. Note the automated "RICH Recovery" sequence already confirms RICH4 is up and accepting ssh connections before claiming success. And it also prints out that you have to "Cancel->Reset->Configure->Download->Prestart" before starting the next run. Fill out BTA hourly. Click "Load from EPICS" to automatically fill the left side then correct as needed. Accelerator beam time: ABU: acceptable beam used (eg harp scans, calibrations, trigger settings, running) The info from EPICS is not always correct, e.g. when taking data with low beam current, you should change the ABU to the proper (estimated) time by hand instead of simply accepting "0" if you are actually taking data. BANU: beam acceptable but not used (eg radiator change or our problems) BNA: beam not acceptable (eg tuning, drifting, not focused) Experiment beam time ER: experiment ready PCC: planned configuration change (when beam is masked while radiators are moved, DAQ (roc rebooting, restarting runs)), if more than 5 minutes, put a short comment, eg harp scans or DAQ. UED: unplanned experiment down (hardware failure) In case of other questions or uncertainties of what to do, call the RC or PDL (remote) shift worker: see dedicated Worker Shift tab above.

For REMOTE Shifts (offsite): Zoom for 24-7 communication with counting house: https://jlab-org.zoomgov.com/j/1619881100 Passcode REQUIRED: 927417 Remind the expert in the counting house to restart their zoom, if necessary Remote VNC connection instructions: https://logbooks.jlab.org/entry/3906039 All necessary applications should be avaible from the desktop menu (left/right click on the desktop) EPICS GUIs should be accessed ONLY via the desktop menu or by running clascss-remote. Remote Demonstration Video (150 MB) Shift Worker Tasks Every Run: With beam present, log screen shots of: Beamline Overview, in VNC or Web Browser RGC Polarized Target GUI - under Beamline on CSS Screen Shot of RasterMon (use "Logbook Entry" functionality on CSS) CLAS12 Trigger rates and DAQ status upload monitoring plots (mon12) to logook look at the spectra: Reference, current, and 5 most recent runs, choose a reference run (the reference numbers refer to logbook entries): In particular, take note of the new Raster Monitoring interface - see "Monitoring" Tab. Every Shift: Fill the shift checklist Log screen shots of RICH temperature and scaler maps. Log in HBLOG and RICH logbook. Regularly: reset & check spectra frequently (every 30 - 60 minutes) Some plots in mon12 have a choice of histogram sets per sector, select buttons at the bottom of the plot. Only the currently selected set ends up in the logbook entry. that means you have to look at all sectors for these histograms in Web Browser: Upstream/Midstream Halo Counters, Downstream Halo Counters, Beam Currents, BPM Positions
